How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Quick checks:

  • Observe whether the interior light turns off when the door is closed. If it stays on, the door switch or sensor is likely faulty.
  • Ensure the door is not warped and that hinges are tight and aligned.

Door switch service:

  • Unplug the appliance.
  • Pry out the door switch carefully and test continuity with a multimeter while pressing the plunger.
  • Replace the switch if it does not change state correctly.
  • Inspect wiring and reseat connectors.

After replacement: Restore power and confirm that lights and alarms behave normally and that AL08 is cleared.
