Close the door and look for drawers, ice bins or packages that keep it from sealing. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Electrolux freezer column door closes but DOOR OPEN still beeps. Why? The door may be closing without pressing its switch, often because the cabinet is out of level or a hinge has shifted. Book a visit to realign the door and test the switch. ### Why did the light in my Electrolux column switch off while the door was open? After five minutes open, the column turns its interior light off along with the DOOR OPEN alert. Closing the door restores it. ### Does a paired Electrolux installation affect the freezer door alert? If the two doors are at different heights they can rub and keep one from sealing. Electrolux's guide shows how the lower hinge is adjusted to level a matching pair. --- **[Read on the site: Electrolux DOOR OPEN alert on an all-freezer: five minutes with the door open](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-door-open/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
