Hardwick Refrigerator beeping/alarm sounding
If your Hardwick refrigerator is beeping or the alarm keeps sounding, start by reading any fault code on the display and checking the owner’s manual—fault codes are the quickest way to pinpoint the problem. If the display shows a power outage or power failure code, try resetting the fridge by turning the breaker off for a few minutes then back on. A common cause when the fridge is beeping with the door closed is a bad door switch; use a multimeter to check continuity and replace the switch if it fails testing. If cooling is fine and the door switch checks out, the dispenser control board can cause intermittent alarms, and less commonly the user control and display board or the main control board will need replacement. Test control panel buttons and power to the display before replacing boards. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your refrigerator and order the correct door switch, dispenser control board, or control board you need to fix the beeping.
01 - Check Fault Codes
When a refrigerator is beeping, a fault code will usually be displayed to help diagnose the issue. Refer to the owner's manual or do an on-line search for fault code designations and possible solutions.

02 - Power outage reset
After a power outage the refrigerator display will typically beep and/or flash a code like PO for power outage or PF for power failure. Try turning the breaker off for a few minutes then back on to reset the refrigerator or refer to the owner's manual for specific resetting information.
Highly Likely
03 - Hardwick Refrigerator Door Switch
A refrigerator door switch is used to turn on the interior lights when a door is opened and to ensure the door with a water and ice dispenser is closed before dispensing ice. If the switch is defective, it may signal to the control that a door is open even when it is fully closed resulting in a beeping alarm sound. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity. If the switch does not test appropriately, it should be replaced.

04 - Hardwick Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board
If the refrigerator is cooling properly and the door switch is functioning normally, a faulty dispenser control board could be the cause of the beeping noise. Replace the old control board with a new one to see if that resolves the problem.
Less Common
05 - Hardwick Refrigerator User Control and Display Board
To determine if the user control and display board is defective, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work, but others do not work, the user control and display board might need to be replaced. Additionally, if the display is not working, check the power to the user control and display board. If the user control and display board has power, but it isn’t working, replace it.
Less Common
06 - Hardwick Refrigerator Control Board
If the refrigerator is cooling properly and the door switch is functioning normally, a faulty control board could be the cause of the beeping noise. Replace the old control board with a new one to see if that resolves the problem.
