Possible Causes

Misaligned door magnet and reed switch, Stuck mechanical door switch, Shorted door switch wiring, Control board not recognizing door closed state

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the wine cooler before adjusting the door switch or magnet.

  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and is not warped.
  • Inspect magnet and reed switch: Verify that the door magnet is present and aligned with the reed switch location in the frame. Replace missing or weak magnets.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to check the reed switch or mechanical switch for proper open/close operation when the door is moved.
  • Replace faulty components: Install a new Grundig door reed switch or magnet if defective. If the switch works but the light remains on, the main PCB may be at fault.
