LG refrigerator noise - An alarm still sounds after I close the door.

Troubleshooting



If the door is open, cold air escapes to the outside and the inside temperature of the refrigerator increases.
At this time, the refrigerator keeps operating to lower the increased temperature to the set temperature.
If the refrigerator keeps operating, malfunction may occur and your electricity bill may become high.
Therefore, a door opening alarm sounds if the door is open for longer than a specific period.
However, if the door opening alarm keeps sounding even when the door is closed properly, the machine should be checked by a service technician.
