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

  1. Check if any of the refrigerator or freezer doors are ajar. Close them firmly.
  2. Inspect the door gaskets for any food particles or debris that may be preventing a proper seal. Clean the gaskets with a mild detergent and warm water.
  3. Ensure that items inside the refrigerator are not blocking the door from closing completely.
  4. Verify that the refrigerator is level. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary to ensure the doors swing closed on their own.
  5. If the light persists after these checks, the temperature inside may be too high. Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily to allow the unit to cool down.
  6. Press the ‘Alarm Off’ button to mute any audible alerts while the refrigerator returns to its set temperature.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
