How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal latch inspection.

- Clean latch area: Remove crumbs or debris from the latch opening inside the housing.
- Check catch and actuator: Inspect the internal latch catch and microswitch actuator for damage or misalignment. Adjust or replace as needed.
