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

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.

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.

In Fisher & Paykel's own words

If the freezer door is left open, the alarm will beep after 60 seconds.

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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Door alarm?

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.
