# Fisher & Paykel column freezer door alarm and lights switching off

Fisher & Paykel integrated freezers beep after 60 seconds with the door open, repeat every 30 seconds, and after 5 minutes sound continuously and switch the interior lights off.

## What Door alarm actually means.

Fisher & Paykel integrated freezers beep after 60 seconds with the door open, repeat every 30 seconds, and after 5 minutes sound continuously and switch the interior lights off. It is a reminder, not a code for a broken part.

What to do when Door alarm shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

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.

### Usually leads to No repair

Close the door and make sure a basket or tall item is not stopping it from sealing.

### Shows up as Freezer Alarm Beeping

A freezer alarm beeping keeps sounding, from a short chirp that repeats to a steady tone, often with a flashing light or a temperature on the display that is higher than it should be.

### Make Fisher & Paykel

Fisher and Paykel freezers repaired with the food still inside kept as cold as possible.

## Before you book, in this order.

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

01

Close the door and make sure a basket or tall item is not stopping it from sealing.

02

Use Alarm Mute while loading groceries; it suspends door alarms for 20 minutes and ends when the door closes.

03

If the alarm sounds with the door shut, book a visit to check the door switch, hinge and gasket.

### 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

Dark interior lights after a long door opening are part of the alarm sequence, not a failed LED. They return to normal once the door is closed.

## What you may notice with it.

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

## Questions about Door alarm.

### Can I clear Door alarm myself?

Close the door and make sure a basket or tall item is not stopping it from sealing.

### Why did the lights in my Fisher & Paykel freezer column go out?

After the door has been open for 5 minutes the column sounds a continuous alarm and switches the interior lights off. Close the door and they come back.

### How do I silence the door alarm while I stock the freezer?

Press Alarm Mute. Door alarms pause for 20 minutes, and closing the door ends the mute.

### Does Sabbath mode stop the door alarm on a Fisher & Paykel column?

Yes. Sabbath mode turns off the display, alarms and lights for 80 hours, so the door alarm will not sound during that time.
