How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before adjusting the door.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check the door hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten hinge screws.
- Check latch hook: Examine the door latch hook for cracks or wear. Replace if it does not engage the cabinet strike securely.
- Adjust strike: If possible, loosen the cabinet strike plate screws and adjust its position so the latch engages fully when the door is closed.
- Check for warping: Look along the edge of the door for warping. If the door frame is significantly warped, replace the door assembly.
