What Door Alarm
actually means.
On the Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer the door alarm tone sounds once the fresh food or freezer door has stayed open for over a minute, and closing the door stops it. The Door Alarm button switches the feature off entirely, and the display then shows OFF for it.

What to do when Door Alarm shows on the refrigeratorKind of codeMode, 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for Door Alarm on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Look for 795 at the start of the model number; other Kenmore families wait longer before they sound.
Close both doors and listen for the tone to stop.
Check the door edges and bins for anything that keeps a door from shutting fully.
Book a visit only if the tone sounds with every door properly closed.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
The door alarm does not mean the refrigerator is warm. It counts seconds of open door, not degrees.
