Aeg fridge light?

Aeg S75628sk14 fridge freezer
When the fridge door is closed the light dims but does not turn off.
Is this normal or should it turn off completely?
Thanks

It is a normal door actuated switch that should turn the lamp off completely. So I would suspect the only solution would be to replace that switch.

Thanks for that martin but it is a magnetically operated reed switch which is incorporated into the control board at £80 odd quid plus vat. Don’t normally do fridge work but its for a friend, so at that price i have to be sure of how this appliance is supposed to operate,

On some fridges the bulb is dimmed to assist with running, so can be on like a defrost heater,

Reading the user instructions it refers to the PCB controlling both the fridge and freezer lights should the doors be open too long. Closing and opening the door/s will reactivate the light. Also it says the fridge light switch is controlled by a magnet ” in the crisper” and if the fridge light doesn’t work to ” put the magnet back”…. Huh?
