Freezer interior light stays on even when the door is closed, causing warmth near the light area.

Safety First: Unplug the freezer before testing or replacing the door switch.

• Step 1 – Verify light behavior: Press the door switch manually with the door open. The light should turn off. If it stays on, the switch or control is faulty.
• Step 2 – Adjust door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch when closed. Adjust hinges or leveling if needed.
• Step 3 – Replace door switch: Pry out the switch, disconnect wires, and install a new Gladiator-compatible switch.
• Step 4 – Control board check: If a new switch does not fix the issue, the electronic control board light relay may be stuck and require replacement.
