Possible Causes

Defective door switch, Misaligned door or panel, Broken switch actuator, Disconnected switch wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the ice maker before inspecting switches.

  • Locate door/panel switch: Identify the switch that detects whether the ice compartment door or service panel is closed.
  • Check mechanical operation: Press the switch by hand; you should hear a distinct click. If it feels loose or does not click, replace the switch.
  • Inspect alignment: Ensure the door or panel fully depresses the switch when closed. Adjust hinges or latches if necessary.
  • Test continuity: With a multimeter, test the switch in open and closed positions. Replace if readings are not correct.
  • Secure wiring: Confirm the switch wiring is firmly connected and not damaged.
