Possible Causes
Faulty door switch, Misaligned door causing switch not to close, Broken or weak door hinge, Damaged door gasket preventing full closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Step 1: Confirm door closure
- Open and firmly close each door and drawer one at a time.
- Listen for the interior lights turning off when doors are closed; if lights stay on, the switch is not being actuated.
Step 2: Inspect door switches
- Locate the door switch (usually in the top frame or side wall).
- Press the switch manually with the door open; the lights should turn off and the alarm should stop.
- If pressing the switch works, the door may be misaligned or the gasket may be preventing full closure.
Step 3: Check hinges and alignment
- Inspect top and bottom hinges for sagging or looseness.
- Tighten hinge screws and adjust door height if necessary so the door fully engages the switch.
Step 4: Replace faulty switch
- If the switch does not change the lights or alarm when pressed, disconnect power and replace the door switch.
When to call a technician: If door alignment requires cabinet adjustments or if multiple switches are involved, professional service may be easier and safer.
