Monogram freezer display · also shown as door alarm flashing 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 check that no package, drawer or bin stops it sealing. ### Shows up as Freezer 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. ### Make Monogram Monogram freezers repaired on site, from the controls to the door that closes over the food. ### Source Monogram owner's manual 49-1000529, built-in column freezers Monogram ZIF181, ZIF241, ZIF301 and ZIF361 built-in column freezers (owner's manual 49-1000529).

Close the door and check that no package, drawer or bin stops it sealing. ### Why does my Monogram freezer column keep beeping? The door has been open for more than two minutes, or it is not closing fully. Close it and press any key. ### Can I turn off the door alarm on my Monogram column freezer? Yes. Press DOOR ALARM once and the OFF light comes on. Press it again to turn the alarm back on. ### My Monogram column door will not close properly. What causes that? Monogram lists a package holding it open, a gasket out of position, a column that is not level, or a door panel rubbing the cabinetry. --- **[Read on the site: Monogram column freezer DOOR ALARM flashing and beeping: the door is open](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/monogram-door-alarm/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
