Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing or replacing switches.
Step 1: Inspect door switches
- Locate each door switch and remove the trim or screw holding it in place.
- Check for moisture, corrosion, or damaged wires at the connector.
Step 2: Test switch continuity
- Disconnect the switch and test with a multimeter.
- Press and release the switch; continuity should change between open and closed.
- If the switch reads shorted (0 ohms) in all positions, replace it.
Step 3: Inspect harness
- Follow the wiring as far as accessible, looking for pinched or rubbed-through insulation.
Step 4: Control board check
- If switches and wiring test good, the main control board input may be shorted and require replacement.
When to call a technician: For complex wiring issues inside the cabinet or control board replacement, professional service is recommended.
