How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the refrigerator immediately if you suspect the lights are staying on to prevent heat damage.
- 1. Test door switches: Press each door switch manually; the lights should turn off. If not, replace the faulty switch.
- 2. Check door alignment: Ensure doors fully depress the switches when closed. Adjust hinges if needed.
- 3. Control board: If switches work but lights remain on, the main control board may have a stuck relay and require replacement.
