Possible Causes

Faulty mechanical door switch, Misaligned door not pressing switch, Stuck relay on control board powering light circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator immediately if you suspect the light stays on with the door closed.

  • Test switch: Press the door switch manually and see if the light turns off. If not, the switch or control board is faulty.
  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch when closed.
  • Replace switch: Install a new Cecotec door switch if it fails to operate correctly.
  • Control board: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the main control board may have a stuck relay and should be replaced by a technician.
