GE Profile Artica beeps & beeps & beeps & beeps
We bought a home with the side by side GE Profile Artica already installed. The Profile is three and a half years old. The problem is that the "door is open" alarm beeps when the door is NOT open. And the beeping is absolutely random --not regular at all. It beeps any time day and night, randomly beeping a couple times and then not beeping for hours. We've physically checked the door seal and it is in great shape - with no apparent damage or leakage that we can detect. The side by side doors are not perfectly level (which the manual states is a requirement) however, the manual states that the door alarm beep is caused by the door being open. Please help - it would be a sorry sham to pay hundreds of dollars for a repairman to come out and remove the noisy cricket from the beast! How do we stop this thing from beeping!

Hi,
I would assume that the doors being unlevel could cause these beeps intermittently.
Have your tryed to adjust the doors by leveling the left and right front adjusting bolts in the front behind the bottom grille?

First, thanks for replying Jake. Any help is appreciated.
We hadn't ventured into the leveling routine since we don't have specifically stated 7/16 socket wrench required to do the job. I guess we'll make that purchase and level the doors. If you discover other causes for the beeping, please let us know -- it is appreciated.

Hopefully that will take care of it.
