Alarm sound and indicator blinking

Door Alarm — Door left open for more than 2 minutes

Samsung · Refrigerators

What does Alarm sound and indicator blinking mean?

If a Refrigerator door is left open for more than 2 minutes, an audible alarm will sound and an indicator on the display will blink. After 5 minutes, internal lights will blink for 10 seconds and then stay on, repeating every minute for 5 minutes to alert users, including those with hearing impairment.

Common Causes

  • Refrigerator door not fully closed.
  • Obstruction preventing the door from closing properly.
  • Door seal issues.

Repair Steps & Checklist
