How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the door switch or control board.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and is not obstructed by trays or misaligned hinges.
- Inspect door switch: Locate the switch on the frame. Press it manually and listen for a click. If it feels loose or does not click, replace it.
- Test continuity: With power off, test the switch with a multimeter. Replace if it does not open and close the circuit correctly.
- Control board check: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the light relay on the control board may be stuck closed. Replace the control board if necessary.
