Possible Causes

Door switch stuck in closed position, Misaligned door not pressing switch, Shorted light control transistor on PCB, Wiring short in light circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting the door switch or control board.

Steps to check and fix:

  • 1. Check door alignment: Ensure the door fully closes and properly actuates the switch plunger or magnet.
  • 2. Test door switch: Remove and test the switch with a multimeter. Replace if it does not open when the door is closed.
  • 3. Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or shorted wires near the light assembly.
  • 4. PCB diagnosis: If the switch and wiring are good but the light remains on, the control PCB may have a shorted light driver. Replace the main PCB if necessary.
