- Refrigerator chimes when door is open or closed
- Refrigerator beeping without a wrench icon
- Refrigerator beeping with a wrench icon
Troubleshooting:
This may be the door ajar alarm. To confirm, turn off the door ajar alarm:
- Classic (Formerly Built-In) Door Ajar Alarm
- Designer (Formerly Integrated) and Designer Wine Door or Drawer Alarm
- 600 and 700 Series Door Ajar Alarm
- Undercounter UC-24 Door Ajar Alarm
- 648PRO Professional Refrigeration Door Ajar Alarm
- PRO3650 and PRO4850 Refrigeration Door and Drawer Alarm
Note that the alarm volume can be adjusted only on some models.
- Remove anything blocking the door from closing completely. See Door Will Not Close.
- If installed, move or remove the gallon-size door shelf, which may block the door from closing. See Gallon-Size Door Shelf Information.
- Turn off the unit at the control panel using the unit on/off button.
- With the unit off, monitor for 15-30 minutes to see if the beeping continues.
- If the beeping continues with the power supply to the unit turned off, the noise is not coming from the refrigerator.
- Often beeping noises thought to come from a Sub-Zero are from another appliance in the kitchen, such as a dishwasher, garbage disposal, or oven.
- Verify the other appliances in the kitchen are not the cause of the noise.
- Restore power to the unit.
- If beeping returns when power is restored, service is necessary to expertly diagnose and repair the product. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.

If a Service or Wrench Icon is Shown:
