What to do when Door Open shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Close the door and check that nothing blocks it.
Shows up asFreezer Door or Lid Not Sealing
A freezer door or lid not sealing shows as a gap you can see or feel, a gasket that no longer grips, a lid that springs back up, or a door that swings open again after you push it.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir'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 check that nothing blocks it.
Press any key to quiet the alarm while loading.
Check that the door gasket sits flat all the way around.
If Door Open shows with the door closed, book a visit.
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
Door Open is a reminder about the door, not a failed part. After the first alert, later door alarms may only flash, which is also normal.
