What DOOR ALARM
actually means.
On Monogram built-in column freezers with the door alarm active, the DOOR ALARM light flashes and a tone beeps once the door has been open for more than two minutes. Any key silences it, and it sounds again after 5 minutes if the door is still open.

What to do when DOOR ALARM 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 no package, drawer or bin stops it sealing.
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 Monogram's own guidance for DOOR ALARM on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door and check that no package, drawer or bin stops it sealing.
Press any key to silence the alarm while loading.
Check that the door panel has clearance from the surrounding cabinets.
If the alarm sounds with the door firmly 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 ALARM is a reminder about the door, not a report of a failed part. It can be switched off with its own pad, but the door still needs to seal.

Still showing DOOR ALARM?
