What Door alarm message
actually means.

Thermador freezer columns put a door alarm message on the control panel when the door stays open. Acknowledging the message on the panel mutes it, and it returns if the door is still open a few minutes later. On columns with automatic door opening, a door that does not close again after opening can bring the alarm on.

Questions
about Door alarm message.

Can I clear Door alarm message myself?
Close the door and check that the ice drawer and baskets are pushed fully home. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
My Thermador freezer column opens itself and then the door alarm sounds. Why?
With Push-to-open, the door opens a crack and the column checks each second whether it is still ajar before closing it again. If it does not close, the door alarm follows; the opening settings or the door opener need checking.
Can I turn off the door alarm on my Thermador column?
You can mute each alarm by acknowledging the message. The alarm exists to protect the food, so the better fix is finding why the door stays open.
Does Sabbath mode change how the Thermador door behaves?
Yes. Sabbath mode switches off automatic door opening, and messages on the display are turned off. Open the door by reaching under the bottom panel.

Still showing Door alarm message?
