How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Do not attempt to bypass the door switch. Turn off power at the breaker before any internal work.
- Check door operation: Open and close the door several times, ensuring a firm latch each time. Listen for the click of the switch.
- Inspect for play: Gently lift up and push down on the door when closed. Excessive movement can indicate hinge or latch wear.
- Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, restore power, and test again.
- When to call for service: If FC persists, the door switch assembly or control input circuit needs professional diagnosis and replacement.
