Possible Causes
Misaligned or broken door switch, warped door not contacting switch, failed control board input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting the door switch.
Steps:
- Locate door switch: Typically found along the cabinet frame near the top or side, actuated by the door.
- Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely and fully depresses the switch plunger.
- Manually test switch: Press the switch in by hand with the door open. The light should turn off. If it does not, the switch or control is faulty.
- Replace switch: Remove the switch from the cabinet (usually clipped or screwed) and install a new Frigidaire door switch.
- Control board check: If a new switch does not resolve the issue, the control board may be misreading the input and should be replaced.
