Miele fridge – interior light

Miele KF882 iD Fridge Freezer INTERIOR LIGHT

I had some first rate help with a dishwasher problem recently so now I’m trying the fridge experts!

I walked into my kitchen in the black of night and noticed a faint white light along the top of the fridge door. I haven’t seen it before and the fridge is 4 years old. The door was closed, not slightly open.

Does anyone know whether the interior light switches off when the door is closed? How can I tell whether it does!

Should the door seal stop all light escaping from inside?

There are no obvious signs of a switch but there is a ‘lump’ in the top edge of the door which seems to hide a magnet (it attracts a paper clip) so perhaps there’s a reed relay or similar to switch the lights?

Any expert advice for me please?

While I was researching my problem I saw some questions about whether it’s worth buying Miele. Just thought I’d say that on average less than 1 in 200 queries on these pages relates to Miele fridges – on the face of it this is a pretty good endorsement I’d have thought. This is my first Miele product and the first hint of a problem, so no complaints from me!
