Possible Causes

Loose basket switch mounting, Worn actuator tab on basket, Vibration causing switch to open, Poor switch wiring connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.

  • Observe behavior: Note exactly when the beeping occurs (e.g., when pulling the basket slightly). This helps locate the switch.
  • Secure switch: Access the basket detection switch and tighten its mounting screws so it cannot move with vibration.
  • Adjust actuator: Slightly bend or reposition the plastic actuator tab (if possible) so it maintains firm contact with the switch when the basket is fully inserted.
  • Repair wiring: Reseat and, if necessary, re‑crimp the switch connectors to ensure a solid electrical connection.
