What to do when DOOR OPEN light shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Temperature 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.

### Usually leads to Freezer thermostat and temperature control repair

Repairing the dial thermostat or the sensor and control that decide when a freezer cools, so it stops running without end or quitting too early.

### Shows up as Freezer Alarm Beeping

## Questions about DOOR OPEN light.

### Can I clear DOOR OPEN light myself?

Close the door and check that bins, shelves or packages are not stopping it from sealing. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why did the light inside my Frigidaire freezer go out while I was loading it?

After five minutes open, the freezer turns the interior light off along with the Door Open alert. Close the door and it comes back on normally.

### My Frigidaire freezer beeps Door Open even though the door is closed. Why?

The door may not be fully seated, or the switch that senses the door may not be pressed. Check for anything blocking the door, then book a visit if it continues.

### Can I turn off the Door Open tone on my Frigidaire freezer?

Pressing DOOR OPEN silences it for the moment. Closing the door ends it; there is no reason to leave the door open long enough to warm the food.
