Interior light stays on even when the door is closed, causing the cabinet to warm up.

Possible Causes
Misaligned door magnet, Stuck plunger switch, Shorted door switch wiring, Faulty light control circuit on main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting switches or wiring.
Steps:
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and is not obstructed by shelves or bottles.
- Inspect door switch: Locate the door switch (magnetic or mechanical). Press it manually to see if the light turns off. If not, the switch or control is faulty.
- Adjust magnet: If using a magnetic reed switch, ensure the magnet in the door aligns with the switch location. Reposition or replace the magnet if loose.
- Replace switch: Install a new door switch assembly if the existing one does not change state when actuated.
- Control board check: If the switch tests good but the light remains on, the main PCB’s light driver may be stuck and the board may need replacement.
