Possible Causes

Misaligned door, Faulty door switch or reed sensor, Weak or missing door magnet, Damaged wiring to door sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance if removing trims or panels.

Checks:

  • Inspect door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely against the cabinet and the gasket seals all around. Adjust hinges if necessary.
  • Test door switch: For push-button switches, press and release while observing the interior light. Replace if intermittent.
  • Check magnet and reed sensor: On models with hidden sensors, verify the magnet in the door edge/gasket is present and aligned with the sensor area in the frame.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for damage near the top hinge where cables may pass into the door.
  • Replace faulty parts: Fit a new door switch, reed sensor, or magnet as required.
