Possible Causes

Stuck door switch plunger, broken door switch, misaligned door not pressing switch, shorted switch wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the switch or lamp wiring.

  • Locate switch: Find the door switch near the door frame (often behind a small hole or cover).
  • Check operation: Press the switch plunger manually. The light should turn on and off. If it feels stuck or does not change the light, the switch may be faulty.
  • Inspect door alignment: Ensure the door properly contacts the switch when closed. Adjust hinges or strike if needed.
  • Replace switch: Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wires, and install a new De Dietrich-compatible door switch.
