Freezer interior light stays on even when the door is closed, causing warming and condensation.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting or replacing the switch.

• Check light through door gap: In a dark room, close the door and look for light leakage around the gasket.
• Inspect switch: Locate the door switch and ensure it moves freely. Clean any debris around it.
• Adjust door alignment: Level the unit and adjust hinges so the door fully depresses the switch.
• Replace faulty switch/sensor: If the light remains on, replace the door switch or reed sensor with the correct Hotpoint-Ariston part.
