Error Code: + BUTTON IS LIT Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: The temperature inside the refrigerator is rising.
How to Fix + BUTTON IS LIT Error (Step-by-Step)
- First, check if the refrigerator door is fully closed and that nothing is blocking it from sealing properly.
- Carefully inspect the rubber door seal for any cracks, tears, or gaps. Clean the seal with warm, soapy water to remove any debris that might be preventing a tight seal.
- Feel around the edge of the door for any cold air escaping. If you feel a draft, the seal may need to be replaced.
- Check for any frost buildup inside the refrigerator or freezer, as this can indicate a sealing issue.
- Ensure the refrigerator is level. If it tilts forward, the door may not close on its own.
- If the light remains on after these checks, the issue could be a faulty temperature sensor or control board, which requires professional service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
