On my Dometic S630, the door switch goes to the top blade on the power supply board J1 (orange) and the light goes to the next one down J2 (yellow). Perhaps the wires are loose on the blades. I had that with one of the connections on mine, only it was for the heater.
Unfortunately that's not the case on my fridge. The switch and light socket are wired in series directly at the door. The switch is in my opinion not the greatest design and tends to get a bit of corrosion or crud internally from the dampness etc. and fails to make good contact. I've taken it apart and cleaned it, which helped for a time, and may do the same again...or pony up for an expensive replacement switch, or kludge together some other switch arrangement (a magnetic reed switch, perhaps with a transistor or relay for increased power handling, is one appealing option).
