How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before manipulating mechanical parts if needed.
- Check on‑screen prompts: Some models require pressing Start after selecting time and temperature; ensure the full sequence is followed.
- Basket and lid: Remove and reinsert the basket firmly. Open and close the lid until it latches securely.
- Keypad reset: Unplug for 5 minutes to clear any stuck input states. If a button is physically stuck, gently work it free or replace the keypad.
- Interlock switches: Inspect and test basket and lid switches; replace if they do not change state when actuated.
