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.
