How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting switches or sensors.

Steps:

  • 1. Check light behavior: Press the door switch manually. The light should turn off. If not, the switch or control is faulty.
  • 2. Inspect switch: For mechanical switches, check for dirt or damage preventing full movement. Clean gently.
  • 3. Replace switch: If the switch does not change state, replace it with the correct V-ZUG door switch.
  • 4. For magnetic sensors: Ensure the door magnet aligns with the sensor. Replace the Hall sensor if it does not detect closure.

Warning: A light that stays on can overheat plastic parts and increase energy consumption; fix promptly.
