# Fulgor Milano refrigerator showing Door Fridge OPEN

Door Fridge OPEN is the Fulgor Milano telling you the refrigerator door has been open for a few minutes.

## What Door Fridge OPEN actually means.

Door Fridge OPEN is the Fulgor Milano telling you the refrigerator door has been open for a few minutes. It is a reminder with a sound signal, not an error. It goes away once the door is properly closed.

What to do when Door Fridge OPEN shows on the refrigerator

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting somebody chose, or an alert it raised on purpose — a showroom mode, a door or power alarm. Nothing has broken and no part is needed.

### Usually leads to No repair

Close the refrigerator door and check that it seals along its full height.

### Shows up as Refrigerator Door Not Sealing

A gap of a few millimeters is enough to frost an evaporator and run a compressor continuously.

### Make Fulgor Milano

An Italian built-in line: integrated columns and built-in refrigeration, often paired with its ranges.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fulgor Milano's own guidance for Door Fridge OPEN on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the refrigerator door and check that it seals along its full height.

02

Look for anything on the door shelves or inside that keeps it from shutting.

03

If the message stays with the door closed, book a visit.

### Cleared?

Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.

### What not to do

It does not mean the refrigerator is too warm; Fridge too warm is a separate message.

## Questions about Door Fridge OPEN.

### Can I clear Door Fridge OPEN myself?

Close the refrigerator door and check that it seals along its full height.

### Why does my Fulgor Milano say Door Fridge OPEN a few minutes after I open it?

It is a reminder, with a sound signal, that the refrigerator door has been open a few minutes. It is not an error. Close the door properly and it goes away.

### Door Fridge OPEN stays on even with the door closed. What should I check?

Make sure the door seals along its full height and nothing on the shelves blocks it. If the message stays with the door shut, book a visit. Fridge too warm is a separate message about temperature.
