What dr
actually means.
On current Marvel freezers the door alert starts after the door has been open for more than 30 minutes: dr appears in the display and a tone sounds for several seconds every minute. Closing the door silences and resets it.

What to do when dr 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.

Close the door and make sure the chrome baskets are pushed fully in.
Shows up asFreezer Error Code
A freezer error code appears on the display: letters and digits, a flashing temperature, or a warning symbol, sometimes with an alarm and sometimes with the freezer still running.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Marvel's own guidance for dr on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door and make sure the chrome baskets are pushed fully in.
Check the food nearest the door and use first anything that has softened.
If dr shows with the door closed, look at the gasket for gaps and book a visit if it looks fine.
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
dr is not a temperature alarm, although a door open that long can lead to HH afterward. It also does not mean the hinge is broken unless the door will not stay shut.

Still showing dr?
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.
