How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before working on the switch.
- Test switch manually: Press the door switch with your finger. The light should go off. If it does not, the switch is likely faulty.
- Check door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch when closed. Adjust hinges if needed.
- Replace switch: Remove the switch from the cabinet (usually clipped or screwed) and fit a new door switch compatible with your Bush model.
After replacement, confirm the light turns off when the door is closed to prevent unnecessary heating.
