Possible Causes
Door switch stuck closed, Shorted lamp relay on control board, Misaligned door not actuating switch, Shorted wiring to lamp circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power before working on the door switch or control board.
- 1. Check door switch: Locate the door switch plunger and press it manually. If the light does not go off, the switch or control is faulty.
- 2. Test switch continuity: With a multimeter, verify that the switch opens when pressed. Replace if it remains closed.
- 3. Inspect door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch when closed. Adjust hinges if necessary.
- 4. Control board relay: If the switch is working but the light remains on, the lamp relay on the control board may be stuck closed. Replace the control board.
