Requires Professional

Safe Checks You Can Do

These checks are safe for homeowners. No disassembly required. Do not remove panels or access internal components.
  1. 1

    Close the door firmly

    Press the door closed until the magnetic seal engages with a soft click. The alarm should stop within seconds.

    Check that no bottle necks are protruding past the shelf edge and preventing the door from sealing.

  2. 2

    Check the door seal

    Inspect the gasket around the door frame for gaps, tears, or debris that prevent a good seal.

    Place a dollar bill in the door and close it — if you can pull it out easily, the seal is weak.

When to Call a Professional

Contact a qualified technician if:

  • Door switch does not change state when actuated
  • Door hinge is loose or bent causing misalignment
  • Gasket is torn and needs full replacement
