Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before working on the light or switch.
- Check door switch operation: Press the switch manually and observe if the light turns off (with power on). If not, the switch or control is faulty.
- Inspect door alignment: Ensure the door fully depresses the switch when closed. Adjust hinges or leveling if needed.
- Test switch continuity: With power off, remove the switch and test with a multimeter. Replace if it does not open/close properly.
- Control board relay: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the light relay on the control board may be stuck. Replace the main control board.
