Possible Causes

Defective magnetic reed switch or mechanical door switch, Misaligned door magnet, Broken wires in door harness (especially on French-door models), Faulty input on main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing door switch assemblies.

  • Identify door switches: Cecotec refrigerators may use mechanical plunger switches in the frame or magnetic reed sensors hidden in the liner.
  • Check door alignment: Ensure doors close fully and gaskets make uniform contact. Adjust leveling feet if doors are sagging.
  • Test switch: For plunger switches, press the switch by hand and listen for a click. For magnetic sensors, place a magnet near the sensor location and see if the interior light turns off (after restoring power briefly).
  • Inspect wiring: On models with wiring through the top hinge, check for pinched or broken wires.
  • Replace faulty switch: Install a Cecotec-compatible door switch or sensor. Ensure it is firmly seated and aligned with the door magnet (if used).
  • Verify operation: Restore power and confirm that the interior light and door alarm behave normally and E10 clears.
