Possible Causes

Stuck or misaligned door switch, Shorted door switch wiring, Control board stuck in light-on state, Door not fully closing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing the door switch.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and compresses the gasket evenly. Adjust hinges if needed.
  • Inspect door switch: Locate the door switch (usually near the door frame). Press it manually and listen for a click. Test continuity with a multimeter; replace if stuck closed.
  • Check wiring: Inspect switch wiring for shorts or damage.
  • Control board: If the switch and wiring are good but the light remains on, the control board's light relay may be stuck; replace the control board.
