The door alarm sounds after the door has been open longer than about 180 seconds and switches itself back to standby as soon as the door is shut — which resolves a large share of these calls in three minutes and costs nothing. ### Seven things this make does on purpose - The alarm sounds and its icon lights — touching the icon silences it - The door alarm sounds after about 180 seconds of an open door and resets when it is shut - The temperature display and alarm LED flash together when the freezer is not cold enough - The freezer shows two dashes until it is below freezing - The power-failure light comes on after an outage and will report the worst temperature reached - The display flashes when a temperature is changed or when loading causes cold loss - The ice-maker lamp flashes when its water tank is empty or unseated ### Why we made a page of this Because “beeping” is the most searched thing about these appliances and most of it is not a breakage. A visit that ends with an explanation and no part is a good outcome, and knowing which of the seven you are looking at can save you the visit entirely. The door alarm Documented: it sounds when a door has been open longer than about 180 seconds, and resets itself when the door is closed. A door resting instead of closing will do this repeatedly. The temperature alarm Documented: the freezer is not cold enough, the display and the alarm LED flash together, and it clears when the cause does. A door that no longer closes by itself The closer has lost its assist, so the door rests against the seal without pulling shut. This is the usual cause of an alarm that returns daily. A seal that has stopped gripping The door looks shut and warm air is entering, so the temperature alarm keeps having a reason. Genuinely not cold enough Everything on the freezer page above applies, and then it is a repair. Shut every door and wait three minutes The door alarm resets itself. If the beeping stops, that was it. Touch the alarm icon It silences the audible signal. If it comes straight back, the cause is still there. Look at whether the display is flashing Flashing display with the alarm means temperature. Alarm with a steady display usually means a door. Check whether a door is resting rather than closing Push it gently and see whether it pulls itself the last centimeter. Most of these are documented, and normal What it usually means Beeping with the door open Beeping after loading or rearranging Beeping that will not stop with the door shut The fastest diagnosis is what the appliance is telling you Shut every door properly and wait.

A short pattern that stops on its own is normally the appliance acknowledging something rather than complaining — a door closed, a setting changed, an alarm cleared. What is worth a call is a repeated alarm with the doors shut and nothing new inside. ### It has been beeping since the power came back. That is the power-failure indicator, and it is the appliance doing exactly what you would want. Touch the alarm icon and it will show you the highest temperature the compartment reached while the power was off — which is the number that decides what is safe to keep. There is nothing to repair. ### Can I just turn the alarm off? Touching the alarm icon silences the sound. It does not remove the reason, and on a temperature alarm the display will keep flashing until the cause has actually gone. Silencing it and walking away is how a seal problem becomes a food problem. --- **[Read full article: Refrigerator or freezer beeping](https://liebherrmiami.support/symptoms/appliance-beeping/)**
