Dacor Refrigerator Error Code F16
The Dacor refrigerator error code F16 indicates a door alarm. This means that the door seal is not properly aligned or is damaged. This can cause the refrigerator to lose cold air, which can lead to food spoilage.
To troubleshoot the error code F16, follow these steps:
- Check the door seal for proper alignment. The door seal should be snug against the doorframe, with no gaps or tears. If the seal is not properly aligned, you can try to adjust it by hand. If you are unable to adjust the seal, you may need to replace it.
- Check the door switch for proper operation. The door switch is a small switch that is located on the doorframe. It tells the refrigerator when the door is open or closed. If the door switch is not working properly, it can cause the error code F16 to be displayed. To check the door switch, you can use a multimeter to test its continuity. If the door switch is not working properly, you will need to replace it.
