How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting or removing door components.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Look for bent hinges, obstructions, or racks preventing full closure.
  • Inspect latch and strike: Examine the door latch mechanism and the cabinet strike plate. Tighten loose screws and adjust the strike so the latch engages firmly.
  • Test door switch: With power off, remove the inner door panel to access the door switch assembly. Check for broken actuators, burned contacts, or loose connectors.
  • Adjust or replace parts: If the switch does not click positively when the door is closed, adjust its position or replace the door interlock switch or latch kit as needed.
  • Verify operation: Reassemble the door, restore power, and start a cycle. If E6 persists, the control board input or wiring harness may require professional diagnosis.
