When the door is open, cold air escapes and the temperature inside the refrigerator rises.
At this time, the refrigerator continues to operate to bring the raised temperature down to the set temperature.
If the refrigerator continues to operate while opened, it may result in parts failure and increased electricity bills.
So, if the door is open for a certain period of time, the door open alarm sounds.
However, if the door open alarm continues to sound even when the door is closed all the way, please have it inspected by a service technician.

Does the door gasket fall out so that it doesn't adhere well to the refrigerator door?
➔ Press the door gasket back into its groove with your hands.
