U-Line Wine Cooler Door Alert Symbol: Door Left Open Over 5 Minutes

What Door Alert Symbol means

On U-Line wine coolers with the door alert, the door alert symbol comes on when a door has stayed open for five minutes. After that point a tone sounds every minute, and dr appears on the display. The alert protects your bottles, since warm room air enters the cabinet while the door is open. Closing the door silences the tone and clears the symbol.

Common causes of Door Alert Symbol

A door was left open for five minutes or longer
A bottle or shelf keeps the door from closing
The gasket is out of place along the opening
The door switch is not reading closed

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the door firmly until it seals. 2. Check that no bottle neck or shelf edge sticks out past the front. 3. Wipe the gasket and press it flat. 4. Confirm the cooler stands level. 5. If the tone repeats with the door shut, call us.

! Why to stop there

A door that closes but still triggers the alert needs a switch and seal test
Repeated warm air shortens the life of the wine you store

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 Alert SymbolDoor Alert Symbol questions

How long before the door alert starts?

The alert starts after the door has been open for five minutes. From then on a tone sounds once every minute, and the display shows dr until the door closes.

Is the alert a sign the cooler is broken?

No. It is a reminder tied to the door. Shut the door and it stops. If the symbol stays on with the door closed, the sensing or seal needs a look from us.

Is dr the same as the symbol?

Yes. dr is the text that shows on the display during the alert, and the symbol is the visual warning that accompanies it. Both mean the door has been open past five minutes.
