Possible Causes
Misaligned or failed door switch, Weak door magnet on magnetic switch models, Control board not recognizing door closed, Obstruction preventing full door closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting switches or controls.
- Check door closure: Ensure nothing is blocking the door from closing fully (e.g., protruding bottles or shelves).
- Inspect gasket and hinges: Make sure the door is aligned and the gasket contacts the frame evenly.
- Test door switch: Press the switch manually (or place a magnet over the frame for magnetic types). If the light does not turn off, replace the door switch / magnetic reed switch.
- Control board: If a new switch does not fix the issue, the main control PCB may be misreading the door status and require replacement.
