Bertazzoni Bottom-Mount and French-Door Alarm: door open beep after 2 minutes

What Door Open Beep (2 Minutes) means

On Bertazzoni bottom-mount refrigerators such as the REF31BMFIXNV and French-door models such as the RFD36FZNX, the buzzer sounds three times every minute for 8 minutes if the fridge or freezer door stays open for longer than 2 minutes. On the REF31BMF the panel also shows "dr" and the icon blinks; hold the two buttons for 3 seconds to silence it. The REF24BMBPNB alarms after the door has been open 60 seconds.

Common causes of Door Open Beep (2 Minutes)

A door left open or ajar
A shelf, bin or package holding the door off its seal
A door that does not close fully

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the fridge and freezer doors firmly. 2. Check for items blocking the seal. 3. On the REF31BMF, hold the two buttons for 3 seconds to silence it. 4. Wait for the "dr" and icon to clear. 5. If the alarm returns with doors shut, call us.

! Why to stop there

A door switch problem is hidden behind trim.
Warm air raises the temperature of your food.
Silencing the alarm does not fix the door.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

How long does the alarm sound?

Three beeps every minute for 8 minutes, not until the door closes. Closing the fridge or freezer door stops it sooner, and on the REF31BMF holding the two buttons for 3 seconds silences it.

What does "dr" mean?

On the REF31BMF the panel shows "dr" with a blinking icon to say a door is open. Close the door or hold the two buttons for 3 seconds to silence the alarm.

Is the delay the same on every model?

No. The REF24BMBPNB sounds its alarm after the door has been open 60 seconds, while the others wait until the door has been open for longer than 2 minutes.
