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

Identify which door is ajar by checking both the refrigerator and freezer doors.
Close the open door firmly until you hear it click shut.
Inspect the door gaskets (the rubber seals) for any food particles, spills, or debris that might be preventing a proper seal.
Clean the gaskets with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
Check for any items on the interior shelves that may be sticking out and blocking the door from closing completely.
Rearrange items as needed and ensure the alarm light turns off.
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.
