67 — Door open / not fully closed
The board detected the door open (or a gap large enough that the switch reads open) for longer than the alarm threshold — typically 5+ minutes. The code is a warning, not a sealed-system fault.

How to fix it
- Open and reclose each door firmly — confirm the alarm stops.
- Inspect for items blocking full close (gallon jugs, tall bottles, in-door bins).
- Inspect the gasket for tears or compression dents; warm it with a hair dryer to reshape if mildly deformed.
- Press each door switch by hand and listen — interior light should turn off.
- Use a level: tilt the unit slightly back via the front leveling feet so doors swing closed.
- If the switch is stuck or unresponsive, replace it.
