• Close all refrigerator and freezer doors firmly and listen for the alarm to stop
• Visually inspect both the refrigerator and freezer door seals for visible cracks, tears, or gaps
• Clean the door gasket thoroughly with warm soapy water to remove dirt and debris that may prevent a tight seal
• Check for any food items, shelves, or containers preventing the door from closing completely
• Inspect the door frame for any visible obstructions or misalignment
• Open and close the door slowly to ensure it moves smoothly without resistance
• Verify that the interior light turns off when the door is closed; if it stays on, the door sensor may be faulty
• Unplug the refrigerator from the 120V outlet for 60 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the alarm system
• Ensure the refrigerator is level and not tilting, which can prevent the door from sealing properly
• Check that nothing is blocking the door from the outside, such as cabinets, walls, or adjacent appliances
