Possible Causes
Faulty door switch or magnetic sensor, Misaligned door causing intermittent contact, Loose wiring to door switch, Defective main control board door input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing door switches or panels.
Steps:
- 1. Check door closure: Ensure doors are fully closing and not hitting shelves or food items.
- 2. Inspect gaskets and hinges: Adjust hinges if the door is sagging and not making proper contact with the switch.
- 3. Test door switch: Remove the switch and test continuity while pressing it. Replace if it does not change state reliably.
- 4. Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the switch to the main board for damage or loose connectors.
- 5. Control board: If switches and wiring are good but the alarm persists, the main control board may be misreading the door status and may need replacement.
