Viking Fully Integrated Wine Cellar Message "Door open": door left open a few minutes

What Door open means

On the Viking Fully Integrated wine cellar FDWCIC7240, the display shows Door open when the door has been open for a few minutes. It works as a reminder to close the door, and clears once the door is shut. If the door is clearly closed and the message stays, the door seal or the door switch is what we would check.

Common causes of Door open

A door left open or not pushed fully shut
A bottle or rack keeping the door from closing
A dirty or worn door seal
A door switch that does not register the closed door

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the door firmly and wait a moment. 2. Look for bottle necks or racks sticking out. 3. Wipe the door seal with warm water and dry it. 4. Check that the cellar sits level and the door swings freely. 5. If the message stays with the door shut, call us.

! Why to stop there

Closing the door solves almost every case
The door switch is inside the cabinet
A seal that lets warm air in also raises energy use

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.

Door openDoor open questions

How long before the message appears?

The display shows Door open once the door has been open for a few minutes. Closing it fully makes the message disappear, usually within a short time.

The door is closed, but the message stays.

Check for anything holding the door slightly open and clean the seal. If the message still stays after that, the door switch needs testing by a technician.

Will the wine be harmed?

A few minutes does no harm. If the door was open much longer, check the temperature on the display and call us if it stays high.
