Possible Causes

Misaligned door switch actuator, Broken door switch, Loose switch wiring, Warped door not engaging switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before adjusting or replacing switches.

  • Locate the switch: Find the small plunger or magnetic reed switch near the bin door or top lid.
  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door or lid closes fully and presses the switch actuator. Adjust hinges or latches if the door is sagging.
  • Test the switch: With a multimeter (unit unplugged), check continuity across the switch terminals while pressing and releasing the actuator. It should change state (open/closed).
  • Inspect wiring: Confirm the switch wires are intact and the connector is firmly attached to the control board.
  • Replace switch: If the switch does not change continuity or is physically damaged, replace it with a Midea-compatible door/lid switch.
