How to Fix Refrigerator Error

1. Immediately close all refrigerator and freezer doors completely.
2. Verify door gaskets are clean and making full contact around entire perimeter.
3. Check for food containers or shelves obstructing door closure.
4. Inspect door hinges for looseness causing misalignment – tighten hinge screws if loose.
5. Test door closure by placing dollar bill between gasket and cabinet – should feel resistance when pulling bill out at all points.
6. If gasket is torn, cracked, or doesn’t seal properly, replace door gasket assembly (WPW10657432 for refrigerator, WPW10657433 for freezer).
7. Level refrigerator front-to-back and side-to-side using adjustable feet (refrigerator should tilt back slightly 1/4 inch).
8. Verify doors close automatically when opened 45 degrees (adjust leveling if doors don’t self-close).
9. After closing doors, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before adding large amounts of warm food.
10. If DOOR alarm sounds repeatedly with doors properly closed, test door switch continuity and replace if faulty.
