Error Codes (undefined): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.

What Does the AS (Auto Door Reed Switch) Fault Mean❓

The AS error signals a problem with the auto door reed switch in the refrigerator. This switch acts as a sensor to detect whether the refrigerator door is open or closed by using a magnetic mechanism. When the reed switch malfunctions or sends incorrect data, the refrigerator may incorrectly sense the door status, leading to issues like interior lights remaining on, cooling cycles being disrupted, or alarms triggering unnecessarily. Timely repair or replacement of the reed switch helps restore normal appliance operation and prevent energy wastage.
