Close the door firmly; the alert and the sound stop on their own. ### Why is Door Open showing on my JennAir column refrigerator? A door has been open for five minutes with cooling on, and the alarm repeats every two minutes. Closing it firmly stops both the alert and the sound. ### Can I silence Door Open on a JennAir while loading groceries? Yes, pressing any key quiets the alarm while you need the door open. If the alert persists with every door shut, cut power briefly before calling. --- **[Read on the site: JennAir refrigerator showing Door Open](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/jennair-door-open/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
