What DOOR flashing
actually means.
Marvel's door ajar alarm starts after five minutes. You can mute the tone with the Lock key or reset the alarm with a short press of ON/OFF, but it comes back after another five minutes if the door is still not shut.

What to do when DOOR flashing shows on the ice machineKind of codeMode, not a failure
Nothing is broken; the control is reporting a state someone chose or a routine it runs: a clean or sanitize reminder counting the hours since the last cycle, a delay of a few minutes after power returns before the pump and compressor start, a bin-full light while the bin control is satisfied, or a standby or off mode someone chose at the keypad. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the light asks for, waiting out the delay or the key sequence from the manual ends it.
Usually leads toNo repair
Close the door and check that the gasket is not folded and nothing is caught in it.

An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Marvel's own guidance for DOOR flashing on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door and check that the gasket is not folded and nothing is caught in it.
If you need the door open for cleaning, tap ON/OFF to reset the alarm or press Lock to mute it.
If the alarm continues with the door shut, book a visit to check the door switch and hinge alignment.
Cleared?
The light or code is gone, and the machine fills, freezes and drops a full batch of cubes into the bin with no new part. If it returns within a week, or the clean light comes back straight after a cleaning cycle, mention that in the booking.
What not to do
DOOR is an alert about the door, not a sensor or cooling problem. It is not the Lock reminder, where the LOCK icon flashes three times when another key is pressed.

A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
