The door open switch is part of the door latch rather than a separate pin switch like it used to be on older models. They sometimes get gummed up with dirt and grime so you could try cleaning it with some contact cleaner. Also, there is a limited amount of adjustment available by loosening the door latch mechanism mounting bolts. If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll probably have to buy a new switch.
