Possible Causes
Defective door switch, Misaligned door not engaging switch, Broken or loose door switch wiring, Faulty main control board input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing door switch components.
Steps to address dO:
- 1. Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely and fully. Adjust leveling legs so the refrigerator leans slightly back to help doors close.
- 2. Inspect door switch: Locate the door switch (usually in the top or side liner). Press it by hand; the interior light should turn off. If not, the switch may be faulty.
- 3. Test continuity: Remove the switch by gently prying it out, disconnect the wires, and test with a multimeter. The switch should show continuity when pressed and open when released.
- 4. Replace defective switch: Install a new door switch, reconnect wires, and snap it back into place.
- 5. Check wiring and board: If the switch tests good but the alarm persists, inspect wiring back to the control board. A failed input on the main control board may require board replacement.
