# U-Line: It beeps every minute and there is a door icon on the display

### What the appliance is actually doing

The door has been open more than five minutes. The maker’s own description: a tone will sound for several seconds every minute, a door icon appears in the display, and closing the door silences the alert and resets it. This is the only error on a U-Line that announces itself out loud — every manual with a code table says only the door error is displayed and has an audible signal.

### Quoted rather than interpreted

> 
When the door is left open for more than 5 minutes: A tone will sound for several seconds every minute. Closed door to silence alert and reset.

From DOOR ALERT NOTIFICATION, in a User Guide & Service Manual downloaded from U-Line’s own site. Nothing on this page is decoded beyond what that sentence says.

### What to do about it

- Close the door and listen. If the tone stops and the icon clears, the appliance was right and the job is done.
- If it keeps sounding with the door shut, the switch is reporting a door that is closed. On the plunger type that is the plunger; on the glass-door models it is a reed switch and a magnet that has drifted out of alignment.
- Look at what is holding the door open before blaming the seal — a bin one position too far out, a bottle rack, a drawer front that has dropped a few millimeters inside a run of built-in cabinetry.
- A door that has been open five minutes in a Miami kitchen has also just put a great deal of humid air into the cabinet, so expect frost or condensation for a cycle or two afterwards. That part is normal.
