How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any trim or panels around the door.
Door switch checks:
- Locate door switch: The door switch is usually mounted in the frame of the ice compartment and actuated by the door.
- Test operation: Press the switch plunger by hand. You should hear a distinct click. If not, the switch may be stuck or broken.
- Electrical test: Remove the switch from the housing, disconnect the wires, and test continuity with a multimeter. The reading should change when the switch is pressed.
- Inspect door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and presses the switch. Adjust hinges or door alignment if needed.
- Check wiring: Examine the switch harness for damage and reseat the connector at the control board.
Fix: Replace the door switch if it fails mechanical or electrical tests. This is typically a straightforward repair.
