Possible Causes
Misaligned door magnet, Failed reed switch or door switch sensor, Loose door switch wiring, Warped door not closing fully
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting door hardware or accessing internal wiring.
Steps to diagnose and fix:
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Look for bottles or shelves preventing full closure.
- Inspect gasket: Examine the door gasket for twists, tears, or debris. Clean the gasket and cabinet mating surface with mild soap and water, then dry.
- Locate door sensor: Many BODEGA models use a magnetic reed switch hidden in the cabinet frame and a magnet in the door. Verify the magnet is present and aligned with the switch area.
- Test switch: If accessible, disconnect the door switch and test for continuity with a multimeter while opening and closing the door. Replace the BODEGA door switch / reed sensor if it does not change state.
- Adjust door alignment: If the door is sagging, adjust the hinges or tighten mounting screws so the magnet aligns correctly with the sensor.
When to call a professional: If dE persists after switch and alignment checks, the main control board input may be faulty and should be inspected by a technician.
