Possible Causes
Failed door switch, Misaligned door magnet or reed switch, Broken door harness wires, Faulty main control board input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before testing switches or removing trim.
Steps:
- 1. Identify affected door: The code may correspond to a specific door (e.g., left fresh food, right fresh food, freezer). Check which door light or alarm behaves incorrectly.
- 2. Test door switch: Locate the door switch plunger or magnetic reed switch. Press it manually and see if the interior light turns on/off (when briefly powered). If not, the switch may be bad.
- 3. Continuity test: Unplug the unit. Remove the switch from the liner (usually pries out). Disconnect wires and test continuity with a multimeter while pressing and releasing the switch. Replace if it does not change state.
- 4. Inspect door harness: On some French-door models, door position is sensed via a harness in the hinge. Inspect for pinched or broken wires at the hinge area.
- 5. Replace faulty switch or repair harness: Install a new OEM door switch or repair/replace the damaged harness.
- 6. If switches and harness are good: The main control board may be misreading the door status and could require replacement.
