# Electrolux Door Ajar flashing: door open more than five minutes

On EI24WC10QS and EI24WL10QS wine coolers, a door open or not closed properly for more than five minutes turns off the blue System Status OK dot, flashes Door Ajar and sounds a tone every 60 seconds.

## What Door Ajar actually means.

On EI24WC10QS and EI24WL10QS wine coolers, a door open or not closed properly for more than five minutes turns off the blue System Status OK dot, flashes Door Ajar and sounds a tone every 60 seconds. ALARM RESET appears under the On/Off key.

What to do when Door Ajar shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Door and seal

The cooler noticed its door open for too long, or a switch that never reports it closing. Often a rack slid out a little too far holds the glass off the gasket, the cabinet has tipped forward off level, or a hinge has sagged under a heavy door; now and then the door switch itself has failed. Warm air getting in shows as fog on the glass and a zone that will not settle.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler glass door and gasket repair

Replacing a torn or flattened gasket, resetting a door that no longer closes square, and repairing the glass door that keeps light, heat and humid air away from the bottles.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

### Make Electrolux

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for Door Ajar on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the door firmly; the alarm resets itself once the door is shut.

02

Or press On/Off briefly to reset it while you are cleaning or loading.

03

Check the door is parallel to the top and sides of the cabinet and adjust it at the bottom bracket if not.

04

If the alarm returns every five minutes with the door closed, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [wine cooler glass door and gasket repair](https://winecoolerrepair.center/services/glass-door-and-gasket-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

Door Ajar is not a cooling alarm, though a long-open door can also bring on the Temp alarm. A brief On/Off press here is a reset, not a way to turn the unit off.

## Questions about Door Ajar.

### Can I clear Door Ajar myself?

Close the door firmly; the alarm resets itself once the door is shut. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the blue dot on my Electrolux wine cooler control?

It is the System Status OK indicator. It stays lit while the unit runs properly and goes out when an alarm such as Door Ajar is active.

### Why does Door Ajar keep coming back on my Electrolux wine cooler?

The alarm recurs every five minutes while the door is still open or not sealed. Check for a shelf or bottle in the way and for door alignment.

### Can Door Ajar and Temp show together on my Electrolux wine cooler?

Yes. Electrolux notes that a door left ajar for a long time can also trigger the Temp alarm, and both indicators then light.
