Possible Causes

Stuck or broken door switch, Misaligned door not pressing switch, Shorted door switch wiring, Faulty main control board door input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Step 1 – Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and is not hitting shelves or bottles. Adjust leveling feet so the door self-closes.
  • Step 2 – Test switch: Locate the door switch and press it by hand. If the light does not turn off, the switch may be faulty.
  • Step 3 – Replace switch: Remove and replace the door switch with a compatible KitchenAid part.
  • Step 4 – Control board: If a new switch does not resolve the issue, the main control board may be misreading the door input and should be replaced by a technician.
