Possible Causes

Loose power connection, Overheating control board, Faulty thermal fuse on control, Intermittent door switch contact

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting electrical components.

Check power cord and outlet: Ensure the plug is secure and the outlet is not loose.
Inspect door latch: Verify the door is not flexing or opening slightly during operation.
Control board area: Remove the inner door panel and inspect the control board for signs of overheating or a tripped thermal device.
