Possible Causes

Defective magnetic reed door switch, Misaligned door magnet, Broken door switch wiring, Faulty door input circuit on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before testing or replacing switches.

  • Locate the door switch: On many Zanussi freezers, the door switch is a small plunger or magnetic sensor in the cabinet frame near the top or side.
  • Check operation: Press the plunger or place a magnet near the sensor (for magnetic types) and listen for the interior light turning on/off when power is connected (if safe). If the light does not respond, suspect the switch.
  • Test continuity: Remove the switch and test with a multimeter. It should change from open to closed when actuated.
  • Inspect magnet and alignment: Ensure the door magnet (if used) is present and aligned with the sensor location.
  • Replace faulty parts: Install a new door switch or magnetic door sensor if defective. Reconnect wiring securely.
  • Control board: If the switch tests good but the error persists, the main control PCB door input may be faulty.
