How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: No internal electrical work is required for initial checks.
Steps:
- Check door alignment: Ensure the refrigerator and freezer doors are level and close fully without interference from shelves or food items.
- Inspect gaskets: Examine door gaskets for tears, warping, or debris. Clean with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Test door switch: Open the door and manually press the door switch. The interior light should turn off and the alarm should stop. If not, the switch or sensor may be faulty.
- Check door magnet (for reed sensors): Verify that the magnet embedded in the door edge is present and not loose.
- Replace faulty parts: Install a new Midea door switch or gasket as needed. Adjust door hinges if misaligned.
