Wine cooler interior light stays on constantly, even with door closed

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting door hardware or accessing the switch.

Steps to fix always-on light:

• Check door closure: Ensure the door closes flush with the cabinet and that shelves or bottles are not preventing full closure.
• Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or damaged door seals that prevent the magnet from aligning with the reed switch.
• Locate door switch: On many Caple models, a magnetic reed switch is hidden in the cabinet frame, triggered by a magnet in the door. Others use a mechanical plunger switch.
• Test switch: If mechanical, press the switch by hand and see if the light goes off. If not, the switch may be faulty. For magnetic types, move a small magnet near the switch location and observe the light.
• Replace switch: If the switch does not change state, replace the door switch / reed switch assembly.
• Control PCB: If the switch tests good but the light remains on, the main control PCB may not be reading the signal correctly and may need replacement.

Tip: A light that stays on will overheat the cabinet and affect wine storage; address this promptly.
