Possible Causes

Failed bin door switch, Misaligned door magnet, Broken switch actuator, Loose switch wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before accessing switches.

Steps:

  • Check door closure: Ensure the bin door closes fully and the gasket is not obstructed.
  • Inspect switch: Locate the door or bin switch (often near the hinge). Press it by hand and listen for a click. If no click or it feels loose, replace the switch.
  • Magnetic sensors: If your Arktic model uses a magnetic reed switch, verify the magnet is still attached to the door and aligned with the switch body.
  • Test continuity: Use a multimeter to test the switch. Replace if it does not open/close properly.
