Possible Causes

Shorted door switch, Damaged door switch wiring harness, Moisture in switch connector, Faulty main control board door input

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.
