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.
