How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the lid switch area.
- Check lid closure: Ensure the lid closes fully and is not obstructed by ice or foreign objects.
- Inspect switch or magnet: Locate the lid switch (mechanical or magnetic). Confirm the magnet is present and aligned with the switch when the lid is closed.
- Test switch: Use a multimeter to check continuity of the lid switch when open and closed. Replace if it does not change state reliably.
- Secure wiring: Tighten any loose connectors and ensure wires are not being pulled when the lid moves.
- Replace faulty parts: Install a new lid switch or magnet if damaged or missing.
