How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing door panels.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door is firmly closed and latches with a click. Push gently in the center and at both corners.
- Disable child lock: Consult the user manual for the specific key combination (often holding two buttons) to deactivate the child lock.
- Test door lock: If the problem persists, access the door lock assembly by removing the inner door panel. Test the microswitch for continuity when the latch is engaged. Replace the door lock if faulty.
- Inspect start button: Check the control panel for a stuck or unresponsive start button. If necessary, replace the user interface board.
