Door Switches (S4/1, S4/2)
The door switches are used to operate the lighting inside the appliance and to
turn the control electronic access on and off. If the controls are not lit when
the door is open, check these switches.
When opening and closing the refrigerator door, there should be an audible
click generated by the door switch relay in the upper section of the refrigerator.
If this is not the case, remove and inspect the magnetic actuator. The inner
magnet is polarized and marked with a red dot. Be sure that this red dot is
visible and pointing down towards the door. See Figure 030-5.

The freezer door switch (S4/2) is a mechanical switch, located on the freezer
interior wall. The drawer rail activates this switch when the freezer door is closed.
This switch can easily be removed with a lid opener or Miele yellow tool.
