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

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before working on the light or switch.

Steps to fix light staying on:

• 1. Verify condition: Close the door and look for light leakage around the gasket. If you suspect the light is on, open quickly and feel for warmth near the bulb.
• 2. Inspect door switch: Press the switch manually; the light should turn off. If not, test the switch for continuity and replace if defective.
• 3. Check door contact: Ensure the door liner actually presses the switch fully when closed. Adjust the switch position or door alignment if needed.
• 4. Replace bulb with correct type: Use only the specified wattage to avoid excess heat.

Note: A light that stays on can significantly warm the interior and affect food safety.
