Possible Causes
Faulty Start button on control panel, Defective door switch not signaling closed, Control board input failure, Child lock function activated
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel or door covers.
- 1. Check display messages: Ensure no child lock or delayed start is active. Refer to the Brandt user manual to disable these functions.
- 2. Verify door closure: Confirm the door is fully closed and latched. If you must push hard to start, the door switch may be misaligned or failing.
- 3. Test Start button: Remove the control panel and inspect the PCB. Use a multimeter to test the Start button contacts. If they do not change state when pressed, replace the user interface board or keypad.
- 4. Door switch continuity: Check continuity of the door switch when the door is closed. Replace the door lock assembly if it does not close properly.
