How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before accessing the switch. Do not bypass the safety circuit for normal operation.
Step-by-step checks:
- Reinsert basket: Remove and firmly reinsert the basket/drawer, ensuring it is fully seated.
- Clean contact area: Wipe the front edge and sides of the basket and the mating area on the housing to remove grease and crumbs.
- Inspect switch: Access the microswitch and verify that the actuator lever moves freely and clicks when the basket is inserted.
- Check actuator tab: Ensure the plastic or metal tab on the basket that presses the switch is intact and not worn down.
- Replace faulty parts: If the switch does not operate reliably, replace the microswitch or basket assembly as needed.
When to stop: If you cannot restore reliable switch operation, contact a technician. Do not defeat the safety feature.
