Step 2

              Control panel
  • In you want, you can pop out the control panel by putting a knife behind it.
  • This is not necessary but helps to identify the connections. In my case, pressing the top button connected connector pin 1 to ground (pin7) via a 10k resistor.

Step 3

              Wiring issue
  • The problem in my case was the wiring loom that runs through the top hinge of the fridge door.
  • As you can see it is broken in multiple places. Its design is a bit poor as the plastic in the hinge is too sharp.
  • You can fix it by soldering and covering the connections in shrink tubing.
