Possible Causes

Failed magnetic reed door switch, Broken door switch wiring, Misaligned door magnet, Stuck mechanical door switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing any trims.

Locate the door switch:

  • On many Indesit freezers, the door switch is located in the top frame or side frame of the cabinet, activated by the door closing.
  • It may be a mechanical plunger switch or a hidden magnetic reed switch.

Checks:

  • Inspect the door gasket and hinges to ensure the door closes fully and evenly.
  • For mechanical switches, press the plunger by hand and listen for a click; test continuity with a multimeter (should change state when pressed).
  • For magnetic switches, locate the magnet in the door and ensure it is not loose or missing.

Repair:

  • Replace a faulty door switch with the correct Indesit spare.
  • Adjust the door hinges if necessary so the door fully engages the switch.
  • After replacement, restore power and confirm that the door alarm and interior light behave correctly.
