How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before working on the light or switch.

  • 1. Test door switch: Press the switch manually and see if the light turns off. If not, the switch or control is faulty.
  • 2. Replace door switch: Remove and test with a multimeter. Install a new door switch if it does not open/close properly.
  • 3. Check bulb type: Ensure the correct wattage bulb is installed. Replace with the specified type to avoid overheating.
  • 4. Control board: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the main control board light relay may be stuck and require board replacement.
