Frigidaire Freezer Door Ajar Sensor

I can understand your concern over your freezer thinking the door is ajar.

Frigidaire freezer door ajar sensor.

Over 10 years old not sure of the model. How old is it. Do you know the model of your frigidaire freezer. I pressed the reset button and unplugged it for 30 seconds.

If the door remains open for 15 minutes or more the interior lamp will turn off you ll need to check the door light switch 216822900 at the bottom right corner of the cabinet and make sure the interior light goes out when the switch is pressed. Then check the freezer. I did locate a link that will discuss your situation in greater detail. Clean or change the gasket.

Took some work and time with blow dryer to get all bends and creases. The alarm stopped but then it started up again. My frigidaire upright freezer door ajar alarm is beeping. If the light stays on when the switch is manually pressed it would indicate the control board might have failed.

Leaks in the gasket seal can let warm air in causing your freezer to run more in order to maintain the desired temperature. After hitting the reset switch the alarm stops but resumes in about 5 10 minutes after the third reset the alarm no longer goes off. Frigidaire refrigerators and freezers generally come with three built in alarms. There is no denying that these audible tones can create an annoyance but they all exist to ensure that the food you eat stays safely cooled.

These alarms tell you if the door stays open the temperature inside the appliance rises to unsafe levels or the unit has experienced a power failure. Whenever the door or lid is opened the warm air that enters can cause the temperature in the freezer to rise triggering the freezer to run in order to lower it again. The door ajar indicator will remain lit until the door is closed. Its set at 0degrees and the door is closed securely.
