What Door open
actually means.
On the Viking 7 Series column, the Door open message follows a door left ajar for several minutes. Viking’s troubleshooting notes that the door is built to close tightly, so it can be hard to reopen straight after closing while the pressure evens out.

What to do when Door open 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.
Usually leads toWine 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.

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.
