Possible Causes
Faulty reed switch, Misaligned door magnet, Shorted light control circuit on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cabinet before working on the switch or light.
- Test with magnet: Place a strong magnet over the door switch location. If the light does not turn off, the reed switch is likely stuck closed and should be replaced.
- Check door magnet: Ensure the magnet in the door frame is present and aligned with the switch.
- Inspect PCB: If replacing the switch does not fix the issue, the light driver on the main PCB may be shorted, requiring board replacement.
