    LG GR-P157NIS - Side by Side Refrigerator with Indoor Ice Maker
    **Buzzer Sound Mute mode**
    Will set the buzzer/beep/error/ding/alarm sound to "off"

    Press and hold the "Express FRZ" button for more than 5 seconds (you will hear a beep, the final beep!), and Mute mode is active until the next reset.
    You can unmute with another 5 second press on the "Express FRZ" button.

    Perhaps your model has the same or similar. I found this info in the Service manual and not in the user manual.

    Thanks but our 2020 model doesn’t have a “Express FRZ” button. I unplugged and we’re going to buy a cheap fridge (not LG) one with no beeping sound.

Happened to me, too. I hadn’t placed the top hinge covers back on after removing the doors to move the fridge. The sensors that tell the fridge the doors are closed are in the hinge covers.

Mine wouldn't stop beeping and the light on the left side wouldn't turn on along with no water and ice.

my solution was I had a arlo camera that has a magnet in it and it was sitting on the top left of the fridge, I move it and everything was back to normal.

it was driving me nuts for over an hour. I hope this helps someone.

My LJ refrigerator alarm started going off continuous a few days ago. I don't have a fancy model where you can turn off the alarm. After going after all the possible causes, I realized a needed a new gasket but thought I'd lose my mind waiting for the part. Came up with an easy solution. The open door alarm starts when a sensor detects light when the door is closed. I looked in each compartment for something that could be a sensor and spotted two identical rectangles near each door. Covered each with duct tape. Sweet, sweet silence.

P.S. Use a large piece and make sure the surface is bone dry or the freezer one can let in light once frozen.

P.P.S It’s still goes off sometimes when someone opens either door, but I just close both doors firmly and it stops again. Not a perfect fix, but sanity saving.

SOURCE: continual beeping

Hi, welcome to Fixya A very common problem with those fridges actually. Check to make sure the door sensor`s are secure and contacting each other when the door is closed. You can do this by accessing one or both sides of the door sensors at the hinge assembly cover at the cabinet top. There should be sensor`s on either side which sense when the door is closed by "making" with magnets on the doors. They sometimes become loose from where they are held in place and therefore do not indicate the door is actually closed. That is the most likely cause. If this does indeed help you solve your issue please take a moment and rate it accordingly. If it doesn't solve the problem let me know and I'll try and assist you further. Thanks for visiting "fixya" today. good luck. macmarkus :)

Hello,


Sounds like you have a bad door switch. Depending on the age of the fridge, it might still be under warranty. If it's not, then you might be able to access the door switch yourself and pull it out & replace it.


Good luck......

SOURCE: Fridge sat turned off for

Hi.

Try disconnecting power cord for ten minutes (turning off is not enough). See if that does reset the fridge.

If that does not help, then check if there is ice forming in evaporator coil at the back of the fridge. Eventually wait one or two extra day. If ice starts forming and fridge quits cooling, then you have a problem with the defrost system. Likely the thermostat or the defrost timer.

IF the unit keeps cooling regularly, and defrost is OK, then it may be a disconnected temperature sensor. This will cause beeping, and fridge cooling regularly.


About defrost control, see this article: When the fridge is not cooling ...

To find parts and diagrams enter the model number in the links listed below, try all the links listed:

Where do I find parts and diagrams?

If you need to contact a technician use the Fixya directory (US only).


Regards.

Ginko.

Why does it keep beeping even though the doors are closed?

  1. Check to see if the fridge and the freezer are overfilled Over-stuffing in the freezer or the fridge or both of these compartments will prevent the doors from closing properly and which can cause the fridge's to set off the beeping alarm.
  2. Check the fridge door seals: Broken or damaged door seals may stop the fridge from closing all the way. This can also happen if the seals are dirty. Wipe clean the door seals with a soft cloth and warm and use soapy water and close the fridge doors. If the door still appears ajar then you have to replace the door seals.It is also quite possible that the inbuilt door-alarm which sets off if the fridge door is ajar for more than a few minutes has gone bad . This would need to be looked at by a qualified repair person . Until, you can call a repair person transfer all the food items to another cool place.
  3. Check the fridge balance: To work correctly the fridge must be placed on a levelled surface. Even a slight tilt in the fridge structure can set off the beeping alarm. Check to see if the fridge is balanced evenly.
  4. Check to see if the fridge exterior is warmer than usual: Check if there is adequate distance between the fridge and walls to allow for proper ventilation. If you have already ensured this and the fridge exterior still appears warmer than usual, have an appliance engineer to take look at the problem. If the beeping continues, switch-off the fridge.
  5. Check the freezer: If your fridge does not have an auto-defrost function then excessive ice-build up in the freezer can cause the beeping alarm to go off . If you see a lot of ice build-up in the icebox or freezer, switch off the fridge and let the ice thaw. Once the fridge is thawed, the beeping should stop.
  6. Have a repair person check the circuit board: It is possible that there is an issue with the appliance's circuit board. If so it will most likely need replacement.

E240B Fridge Freezer door open alarm goes even when door closed.

Fridge keeps beeping or buzzing: The following is for Frigidaire models but others can be addressed similarly.

Several Frigidaire refrigerator models have an electronic control panel on the freezer door the owner can use to adjust the internal temperature, dispense ice and water and receive notification about issues such as the need to replace a water filter. The refrigerators also emit a beep for various actions and as an occasional alarm. Determining what causes the beeps necessitates some troubleshooting.
Temperature Controls ·A Frigidaire refrigerator's display panel blinks when the control panel is touched to set temperature controls. After pressing "Freezer Temp" or "Refrigerator Temp" on the keypad, press the arrow buttons within five seconds to increase or decrease the desired temperature. If you do not press the arrow buttons within five seconds after pressing "Freezer Temp" or "Refrigerator Temp" on the keypad, the refrigerator beeps to indicate the current setting will stay in place.

Door Open ·When you leave the refrigerator or freezer door open, the refrigerator beeps. Also, the "Door Ajar" indicator illuminates on the appliance's display panel. Shutting the door and pressing "Alarm Reset" stops the beeping and turns off the "Door Ajar" indicator light.
·The Frigidaire refrigerator has a control lock feature that prevents use of its control panel or dispensers when the unit is locked. When the control lock is active, a beep sounds when a keypad or dispenser is pressed. Release the control lock by pressing the "Control Lock" icon for three seconds. A beep will sound, and the icon's light will go out.
Power Reset ·A power reset is occasionally necessary if the Frigidaire refrigerator's control panel does not work normally or a reset function on the keypad does not work. A power reset involves disconnecting power to the refrigerator by unplugging its power cord from the electrical outlet, waiting 30 seconds and plugging the power cord back into the electrical outlet. When the control panel resets, a beep sounds. If the refrigerator beeps even after a power reset and the beeps' source is not known, contact Frigidaire.

Frigidaire refrigerator beeps every 20 seconds or so. three beeps.

try opening the door.leave it open.unplug the fridge for at least 5 minutes, no less,with the door still open.after that,plug it back in.wait for it to beep.then close the door.
this would reset the door alarm,which beepes when the door isn't properly closed.
also you should wait 24 hours between changing the temperature or it can mess up your fridge.!

My Miele Fridge Freezer Keeps Beeping Although there is no issue, how do i remove the alarm?

I bet the light is also staying on inside even if the door is closed. There is a switch inside that turn the light on and off when the door is open. If the (Door Switch) is working then the light inside should shut off when the door is closed to save energy. It also tell the computer the door has been shut in case you forget then it will notify you. The switch may not be working. Look for a door with on ebay or sears. Need your model number and brand of the unit.

Whenever I open the door the beeper starts beeping and continues for 19 beeps regardless of whether I leave the door open or close it again. The beeps are at approx 1 second intervels

Hi,

Whenever the fridge is open it gives 19 beeps actually.In your case even when it is closed it is giving 19 beeps.This is the problem with control board.The control receives the signal when closing the door and stops the sound.Check the wiring connection to and fro the control board to the door.Control board costs high.This is small problem you can just unplug the wiring connection to the door to the board instead of spending more.

Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
