Possible Causes
Misaligned door magnet or switch, a weak door gasket causing a slight opening, a faulty door switch, or the control board misreading the door status.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting hinges or switch wiring.
- Step 1 – Confirm closure: Push firmly on the door when the alarm sounds. If it stops, the door is not sealing fully; adjust leveling and hinges.
- Step 2 – Check magnet/switch alignment: Ensure the door magnet lines up with the frame sensor. Adjust the door or magnet position if needed.
- Step 3 – Test switch: Manually activate the door switch to see if the alarm stops. Replace the switch if it does not respond.
- Step 4 – Control board: If mechanical issues are resolved but the alarm persists, the main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
