No, lol it's to let you know if a door is open then isn't closed properly. In this case it didn't work...the door was closed tight and the damned thing kept going off. So I thought maybe it wasn't level (????)...but it was. Then I took things off the door...no dice. You'll enjoy this...after running down the steps countless times I pulled out the manual...I over-rode the dammed alarm by setting the "Sabbath mode"...and it stayed in Sabbath mode (quiet) until the repair man came. I honestly didn't know there WAS such a thing as "Sabbath mode"!

Or, what if someone breaks into your home to steal your food? Maybe it is so a dog can't sneak a treat. It seems to me if we need an alarm on our fridgs, we are doing something wrong. Evan L.
