How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit when not in use if the light remains on to avoid overheating.

  • Door switch test: Check the door switch operation with a multimeter. Replace if it remains closed regardless of door position.
  • Control board inspection: Inspect the lamp relay on the PCB for signs of burning. If stuck, replace the main control PCB.
  • Temporary mitigation: As a temporary measure, you may disconnect the lamp connector, but this removes interior lighting functionality.
