Close the door and make sure baskets and the ice bin are pushed fully in. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### I silenced the Bosch door alarm but it came back. Why? Acknowledging only mutes it for a few minutes. If the door is still open after that, the message returns until the door is closed. ### The Bosch freezer door looks closed but the door alarm keeps showing. What now? The flush door may be closing against the panel or trim without sealing, or the door sensor is not seeing it shut. Book a visit to adjust the Optiflex hinge and check the sensor. ### Does the Bosch door alarm also turn off the ice maker? No. The door alarm only reports an open door. Ice production depends on the ice maker setting and the freezer temperature. --- **[Read on the site: Bosch freezer column door alarm: a message that comes back if the door stays open](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/bosch-door-alarm/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
