Possible Causes

Stuck or misaligned door switch, Shorted door sensor wiring, Control board not detecting door closed state

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before adjusting door components.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly. Listen for the click of the door switch.
  • Inspect switch: Locate the door switch (often near the top or side of the cavity) and check for physical damage or sticking.
  • Switch test: With a multimeter, test the switch for proper open/closed operation as the door is moved.
  • Adjust or replace: Adjust the switch position if misaligned, or replace if it fails continuity tests.

Note: If the switch is working but the light and fan remain on, the control board may have a stuck relay or logic fault.
