Possible Causes
Failed door switch, Misaligned door magnet, Control board not recognizing door closed, Shorted light circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before working on the door switch or light circuit.
- Door closure check: Verify the door is fully closing and the gasket is sealing. Adjust leveling if needed.
- Door switch test: Locate the door switch or magnetic sensor. With the door open, manually actuate the switch or hold a magnet near the frame and see if the light turns off.
- Replace switch/magnet: If the light does not respond, replace the door switch or magnet assembly.
- Control board: If a new switch does not fix the issue, the control board may be stuck driving the light on and may need replacement.
