What's Happening

A door switch detects the door as open when it should be closed. Door gaskets with tears or debris, or a faulty switch, are common causes.

How to Fix It

Check all doors and drawers for proper closure. Inspect gaskets for tears or debris. If doors are fine, the door switch may need replacement.
