Possible Causes
Stuck mechanical door switch, Misaligned door magnet for reed switch, Shorted door switch wiring, Faulty door input circuit on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before working on the door area or control panel.
Steps:
- Test switch operation: Press the door switch manually (if mechanical). The light should turn off. If not, the switch is likely faulty.
- Check magnet alignment: For magnetic reed switches, ensure the door magnet lines up correctly with the sensor. Adjust hinges if the door has sagged.
- Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or shorted wires around the door frame.
- Replace switch or magnet: Install a new Zanussi-compatible door switch or magnet if defective.
Note: If the light remains on despite a working switch, the control board may be interpreting the door as always open and may require replacement.
