Possible Causes

Stuck or broken door switch, Misaligned door not pressing switch, Shorted control board light output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit to prevent overheating and electrical shock.

  • Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and contacts the switch plunger. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
  • Test door switch: Remove and test the switch with a multimeter. Replace the door switch if it remains closed regardless of position.
  • Temporary workaround: You may disconnect the light connector to prevent heating until proper parts are obtained.
  • Control board: If the light remains on even with the switch disconnected, the main control board light circuit is likely shorted and must be replaced.
