Possible Causes

Door switch stuck in closed position, Misaligned door not pressing switch, Shorted switch wiring, Control board not turning light off

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Unplug the cooler before working on the door switch or wiring.

Steps:

  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door fully presses the switch plunger when closed. Adjust hinges if necessary.
  • Test switch: Press the switch manually with the door open; the light should turn off. If it does not, the switch or board may be faulty.
  • Replace switch: Remove and replace the door switch if it is stuck or has no continuity when operated.
  • Board issue: If a new switch does not fix the problem, the main control board light circuit may be stuck on and require replacement.
