Error Code: RED ALARM LIGHT Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates a temperature issue or that a door is not properly sealed.
How to Fix RED ALARM LIGHT Error (Step-by-Step)
- Check if any of the refrigerator or freezer doors are ajar. Close them firmly.
- 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.
- Ensure that items inside the refrigerator are not blocking the door from closing completely.
- Verify that the refrigerator is level. Adjust the leveling feet if necessary to ensure the doors swing closed on their own.
- 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.
- Press the ‘Alarm Off’ button to mute any audible alerts while the refrigerator returns to its set temperature.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
