How to Fix Amana Refrigerator Error DOOR ALARM LIGHT

Error Code: DOOR ALARM LIGHT Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Indicates that a door has been left open for an extended period.

How to Fix DOOR ALARM LIGHT Error (Step-by-Step)

1. First, check for any items inside the refrigerator or freezer that might be obstructing the door from closing completely.
2. Unplug the refrigerator. Locate the door switch, which is a small plunger-style switch in the door frame that controls the light.
3. Gently pry the old switch out of its housing with a putty knife, disconnect its wire terminals, and connect them to the new switch before snapping it into place.
4. If the switch is not the problem, inspect the rubber door gasket for any cracks, tears, or stiffness.
5. To replace a faulty gasket, pull the old one out from the groove in the door. You may need to loosen screws under the gasket’s edge.
6. Soften the new gasket by soaking it in warm water, then press it firmly into the groove, ensuring a tight seal all the way around.
7. Restore power and confirm the light and alarm now function correctly.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
