Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect from mains before removing any panels.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door is firmly closed and not obstructed by tall dishes or cutlery.
  • Confirm program selection: Select a standard program and press Start firmly. Some Baumatic models require holding Start for a second.
  • Inspect door lock: If the display shows a door symbol or beeps when trying to start, the door lock assembly may not be engaging. Check the latch and strike for wear or misalignment.
  • Test start button: If other buttons respond but Start does not, the user interface PCB or button contact may be faulty and require replacement.
