What Door Open
actually means.
On JennAir column refrigerators, Door Open appears and an alarm sounds when a door has been open for five minutes with cooling on, repeating every two minutes. French door models do the same with a Door Ajar icon after two to five minutes. In both cases the refrigerator is working; a door is simply not closed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Door Open on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door firmly; the alert and the sound stop on their own.
Look for a shelf, bin or package that keeps the door from sealing.
Press any key to quiet the alarm if you need the door open for cleaning or loading.
If the alert shows with every door closed, restart the refrigerator by cutting power briefly before calling.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
It is not a cooling problem and needs no parts on its own.
