If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Door switch stuck in 'open' position, Welded light relay on control board, Shorted wiring to lamp circuit

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the door switch or control board.

Check door switch: Locate and test the door switch with a multimeter. Replace if it does not change state when the door moves.
Inspect control board: If the switch is good, the light relay on the board may be stuck closed. Board replacement is usually required.
Wiring: Check for any wiring modifications or shorts that could be feeding the lamp permanently.
