What dA
actually means.
dA flashing on a Hestan controller simply means the door is open. The manual adds that an audible alarm sounds once the door has been ajar for more than a minute, and that shutting it fully clears the condition.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Hestan's own guidance for dA on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door firmly and watch for dA to stop flashing.
Look for a bottle, shelf or drawer front that keeps the door from closing all the way.
If dA stays on with the door shut, check that the door is pressing its switch; if it still shows, 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
dA does not mean the unit is failing to cool. A door left open for a long time can, however, lead to HA.
