Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Door Unit OPEN on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the door and check that a drawer or shelf item is not holding it off the gasket.

02

Wipe the gasket and the cabinet face where they meet if the door does not close with a firm seal.

03

Book a visit if the message shows with the door fully closed.

Cleared?

The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.

What not to do

Door Unit OPEN is not a temperature warning by itself. If the column is also warm with the door shut, the cooling needs a separate check.

What you may
notice with it.

The freezer problems Door Unit OPEN tends to arrive with. Answer these at the freezer before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.

Questions
about Door Unit OPEN.

Can I clear Door Unit OPEN myself?
Close the door and check that a drawer or shelf item is not holding it off the gasket.
Why does my Bertazzoni freezer show Door Unit OPEN with the door closed?
A door that is not quite sealed can read as open. If the gasket and hinges look right, the door switch should be tested.
Can Door Unit OPEN lead to frost in a Bertazzoni column?
Yes. Bertazzoni links ice and frost inside the freezer to doors left open or not closing completely.
Is the door hard to open right after closing it?
Bertazzoni explains a short vacuum forms after closing. Wait a few seconds for the pressure to even out, then open it.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Door Unit OPEN?

Book with the code or the alarm pattern written exactly as the freezer shows it, the full model number, and whether the food is still frozen hard — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
