Close the door and make sure nothing on a shelf or in the door bins is holding it open. ### How long before Door Ajar sounds on my Electrolux? It comes on after a door has been open for five minutes or more, together with a tone. Shutting that door is all it takes to end the reminder. ### What if Door Ajar keeps sounding with the Electrolux door shut? Start by pressing the Set key, which clears the alarm on these panels. If it still sounds, contact Electrolux support with your model number. --- **[Read on the site: Electrolux refrigerator showing Door Ajar](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-door-ajar/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
