How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Unplug the unit before accessing the switch.

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure no bottles or racks are preventing the door from fully closing.
  • Inspect gasket and alignment: Confirm the door sits flush against the cabinet. Adjust hinges if needed.
  • Locate door switch: Identify the mechanical or magnetic switch in the frame. For magnetic types, ensure the magnet in the door is present and aligned with the switch location.
  • Test switch: With power on, press the mechanical switch or place a magnet over the reed switch area to see if the alarm stops. If not, replace the door switch.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the switch harness for loose connections at the main board.
