View Refrigerator Light

On my new View 20V, the refrigerator light goes on when I close the door and turns off when I open it.


I can't find an easy way to pull out the switch and fix it.



Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get the light working correctly?


I can't get in to a Winnebago dealer to get warranty work done until the end of August, so am trying to fix some of my issues on my own, but not sure how to attack this one.

This sounds like a time to figure out how to deal with the light until time to take it in for the fix. I'm thinking it requires the frig to be pulled out. Possible to unscrew the bulb for a short term fix?
Top of the head without having a real drawing or info on the frig, is that there is a microswitch having normally open and normally closed connections which are reversed. Put the quik connect on the wrong lug and it does what you describe---- but pure guess!

I do feel like if I could pull the switch out, I could fix the problem. I tried gently to pry it out with a screwdriver but stopped because it didn't look like it came out that way.


The lights themselves are LEDs so don't take much energy, but it bugs me they're on all the time, except when I need them to be on.
