How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the door switch or working near wiring.
Steps:
- Observe light behavior: Open and close the door. If the light does not change state, suspect the switch.
- Remove door switch: Gently pry out the switch from the cabinet frame. Disconnect the connector.
- Test switch: Use a multimeter to check continuity while pressing and releasing the switch. Replace if it does not open and close reliably.
- Inspect harness: Check for pinched or broken wires near the hinge area. Repair or replace as needed.
- Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely against the cabinet. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
- If switch and wiring are OK: The main control board input may be defective and require replacement.
