Possible Causes
Failed door reed switch (on some French door models), Magnet missing from door, Damaged door harness at hinge, Faulty main control input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing hinge wiring.
- Check door magnet: Some Electrolux models use a magnet in the door to signal closed status. Verify the magnet is present and properly seated.
- Inspect hinge harness: Remove the top hinge cover and check for broken or pinched wires in the door harness.
- Test reed switch: If accessible, test the reed switch for continuity when a magnet is placed near it. Replace if it does not change state.
- Replace faulty components: Install a new reed switch or repair the harness as needed. If the signal still does not register, the main control board may be at fault.
