Possible Causes

Faulty door interlock switch, Misaligned door latch, Broken latch hook, Wiring fault to door lock

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the outer door panel.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly. If you have to push hard or lift the door, the latch may be misaligned.
  • Inspect latch hook: Look at the metal or plastic hook on the cabinet top; if bent or broken, it may not engage the lock properly.
  • Test door switch: With the door open, gently press the latch area and listen for a distinct click from the interlock. No click may indicate a failed switch.
  • Adjust or replace: Remove the inner door panel to access the door lock assembly. Tighten loose screws, adjust position, or replace the door lock if the microswitch is defective.
