I'm not sure if there is a solution for this. Maybe it is better to maintain the X clean and dry.
It is attached to the door latch inside the door. It is a plunger that the latch when closed pushes down on a plunger to disconnect the circuit. It may take some time but do the "WD40" thing. Soak under the latch many times and just work the latch with a screwdriver( better that opening and closing the door) much faster.

OK. Trying to spay behind the latch with WD40 is a good idea. This is the first thing I'll do. Thanks for this tip.

Correct! Good luck. After you find the bad switch you might just take the door apart, remove the latch so you can remove the switch and clean it.
