What DOOR OPEN
actually means.
On Electrolux freezer columns, DOOR OPEN lights and a tone sounds when the door has stayed open for five minutes or longer. The tone stops when the door closes or when DOOR OPEN is pressed, and the interior light switches off after five minutes open. An alert with the door shut suggests the door is not seating or its switch is not being pressed.

What to do when DOOR OPEN shows on the freezerKind of codeTemperature and alarms
The freezer measured a cabinet warmer than it should be and said so, sometimes with the highest temperature it reached while nobody was looking. The cause can be as simple as a door left ajar or a long power outage, or as serious as a compressor that stopped. Keep the door or the lid shut and check whether the food is still hard before anything else; the alarm is a warning about the food, not a diagnosis.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for DOOR OPEN on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door and look for drawers, ice bins or packages that keep it from sealing.
Press DOOR OPEN to silence the tone while loading.
Book a visit if the alert sounds with the door closed, so the door alignment and switch can be checked.

What not to do
DOOR OPEN is not a temperature alarm, though a door left open long enough will also trigger HIGH TEMP. It does not point to the fan or compressor.
