Possible Causes

Stuck mechanical door switch, Misaligned door magnet for reed switch, Shorted light control transistor on PCB, Incorrect door alignment

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before working on the door switch or control board.

  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and is not sagging. Adjust hinges if necessary.
  • Test door switch: Manually press the switch (if visible) and see if the light goes off. If not, the switch or control circuit is faulty.
  • Inspect magnet and reed switch: For magnetic systems, confirm the magnet in the door is present and aligned with the frame sensor. Replace missing magnets or sensors.
  • Temporary mitigation: Remove the light bulb or disconnect the LED module to prevent heating until the switch or PCB can be replaced.
