Answer 1

I can understand your concern about this alarm sounding. If this unit had a battery it would be located in the bottom toe grill. However, this model does not show to have a battery. If the door is closed good and the door alarm is sounding, it will indicate the control board has failed. First, I suggest disconnecting the power for 30 seconds and reconnecting it. This will reset the board. Also check to make sure the light inside the cabinet is turning off when the door is closed. If the alarm still sounds, the control # 297241802 will need to be replaced.
