Possible Causes
Stuck or broken door switch, a misaligned door pressing on the switch, or a welded light relay on the control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the power before accessing the door switch or control board.
- Check door switch: Locate the door switch (usually near the door frame). Press it manually and listen for a click. Test its continuity with a multimeter; replace if it does not change state.
- Adjust door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely and actuates the switch fully. Adjust the hinges or striker if needed.
- Control relay: If the switch is good but the light remains on, the light relay on the control board may be stuck closed. Replace the control module if required.
- Test operation: Restore power and confirm that the light now turns off when the door is closed.
