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

Possible Causes
Door switch stuck in open position, Misaligned door magnet and reed switch, Shorted light control transistor on PCB, Warped door not activating switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting the door switch or accessing wiring.
Steps to correct:
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and compresses the gasket evenly.
- Inspect switch or magnet: For mechanical switches, press the switch plunger by hand and see if the light turns off. For magnetic reed switches, verify the magnet is present and aligned.
- Replace faulty switch: If the switch does not change state when actuated, replace the BODEGA door switch or reed sensor.
- Temporary workaround: Until repaired, you may unplug the unit when not in use to prevent overheating, but this is not a long-term solution.
When to call a professional: If the light remains on despite a working switch, the control board may need replacement.
