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

There is no physical issue with the fridge i believe the problem to be electrical or in the computer of the machine. The freezer is always holding steady at -18 and the fridge is at 3 degrees, no frost is building up and the door seals etc are fine. The door alarm (3 beeps) constantly happens. I just need to find a way to remove the alarm so i can stop the beeping which is starting to turn me insane. The waranty is expired now and i don't want to get an engineer in if i can do it myself if i can help it. In short the fridge freezer works perfectly i just need to stop the beeping, It randomly starts every so often i press silence on the alarm button and about 30 - 40 seconds later it starts again, i silence the alarm about 20 times every hour of the day. The fridge is tilted back on the legs and i have tried putting a strap around the fridge to make sure the door seals are working properly. i have defrosted the freezer and cleaned it thoroughly inside and out, left it off and unplugged for 24 hours to do a hard reset. Have changed the door seal proffessionally but nothing is working... I would like to locate and remove the alarm part of the machine if possible as the tempreture is perfect and its a good machine, i am smart enough to see when the door is open :p and it has child locks on it so it is always shut properly and locked in place. Could someone please tell me where the alarm is and how to get at it and remove it in some way shape or form? Sorry for the long explanation but i wanted to provide all the facts. thanks

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.

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.

Why my fridge freezer keeps beeping four hort beeps

Temperature alarm
If the temperature becomes too warm, an alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash. The temperature the appliance is set at will determine when the alarm is triggered.
The alarm will sound and the display will flash under the following conditions:

  • - whenevertoomuchwarmairflows into the appliance, for example when food is being loaded, re-arranged, or taken out.
  • - wheneverlargeamountsoffoodare being frozen at once.
  • - whenevertherehasbeenalengthy interruption of the power supply. Door alarm
    If the appliance door is left open for longer than approx. 60 seconds, the alarm signal will sound.

Switching the alarm system ON
The alarm system is always active. It does not need to be switched on manually.
Switching the alarm OFF early
Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer section, the alarm signal stops and the temperature display stops blinking. If the alarm signal bothers you, it can be switched off early.
^ Press the alarm off button. The alarm signal will stop. The temperature display will continue to blink until the set temperature has been reached. The display then stops blinking, and shows a steady reading. At this point, the alarm system is ready again if needed.

Westinghouse virtuoso the alarm keeps going off fridge not cooling freezer is not freezing. Help!

Try adding refrigerant or freon. The Alarm just warns you that it's not cooling or freezing and your food is thawing out. Check the fan if you hear the fan running it should be the coolant needs to be put in it. Or it could possibly be both.
