Possible Causes
Stuck or misaligned door switch, Magnet not activating reed switch, Control board not turning light off
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting the switch or wiring.
- Check door switch alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the mechanical switch or aligns with the magnetic reed switch when closed.
- Test switch: Use a multimeter to check that the switch opens when the door is closed. Replace if it remains closed.
- Inspect magnet (for reed switch): Verify the magnet is present and properly positioned in the door frame.
- Control board evaluation: If the switch operates correctly but the light remains on, the control board's light relay may be stuck and require replacement.
