Possible Causes
Misaligned basket not engaging switch, Broken or stuck microswitch, Damaged switch actuator lever, Faulty wiring from switch to PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains before opening the housing.
- Check basket fit: Remove and reinsert the basket/drawer firmly until it clicks. Ensure no food residue or warped plastic prevents full insertion.
- Inspect switch actuator: Look at the area where the basket slides in; locate the plastic tab that presses the internal microswitch. If bent or broken, the switch will not engage. Replace the basket frame or actuator piece as needed.
- Test the microswitch: Access the side or bottom panel to reach the door/basket switch. With a multimeter on continuity, operate the switch by hand. It should open and close reliably. Replace the switch if intermittent or stuck.
- Check wiring: Ensure the switch wires are firmly connected to the main PCB and not broken or pinched.
- Reassemble and test: After replacing or adjusting parts, reassemble fully and test with the basket inserted.
