Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Alarm error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0–$80 · Duration: 2m

The Door Alarm is not an error code. It is a safety indicator that turns on and sounds a beep every 2 minutes when a refrigerator door or freezer drawer has been left open. The beep can be silenced by pressing any key while the door is open. The alarm resets automatically when the door is properly closed. If the alarm activates with a closed door the door seal or door sensor may have a fault.
