Possible Causes

Misaligned lid switch, Broken door switch actuator, Failed magnetic reed switch, Loose switch wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting switches.

  • Check lid closure: Ensure the lid or door closes fully and is not obstructed by ice or foreign objects.
  • Inspect switch actuator: Locate the small plunger or magnet that activates the lid switch. Verify it is intact and aligned with the switch body.
  • Test switch movement: Press the switch by hand (with power disconnected) and feel for a positive click. If it feels loose or does not click, replacement is recommended.
  • Check wiring: Follow the switch wires to the harness and reseat the connector.
  • Test operation: Reassemble, plug in, and close the lid firmly. If E18 remains, the lid switch or control input circuit may be faulty.
