Possible Causes

Stuck or broken door switch, Misaligned door not pressing switch, Faulty control board not turning light off

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before replacing switches.

Steps:

  • Test switch: Press the door switch manually; the light should turn off. If not, the switch or control is faulty.
  • Inspect alignment: Ensure the door contacts the switch plunger fully when closed.
  • Replace switch: Pry out or unscrew the switch, disconnect wires, and install a new one.

Note: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the control board may need professional diagnosis.
