The door sensor has gone bad.

It is a common problem. It is an easy fix.

Remove the panel to that door & check if the connector is plugged in securely. If not, then secure it. If it is, remove the plug, check continuity of the switch with a multimeter. If the switch checks out then an adjustment might work. Replacing it should be very easy.
