What DOOR ALARM
actually means.
True fits every column with a door ajar alarm: five minutes of open door and the buzzer runs nonstop. The ALARM key switches the feature, and the screen answers with DOOR ALARM IS ON or DOOR ALARM IS OFF. True’s undercounter wine cabinets give you seven minutes instead of five.

What to do when DOOR ALARM shows on the wine coolerKind of codeDoor 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.

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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for DOOR ALARM on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Shut the column and run a hand along the gasket to feel for gaps.
Restocking a whole case? Press ALARM to quiet the buzzer, then switch the alarm back on when you finish.
A buzzer on a shut column means the switch or hinge needs a technician; book a visit.

What not to do
DOOR ALARM is not a failure of the unit; it reports a door that is open, or that the column thinks is open. HIGH TEMP is the separate warm alert.
