How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect mains before removing the door panel.

Check door closure:

  • Ensure the door closes firmly and you hear the latch click.
  • Try gently lifting the door while pressing start; if it then starts, alignment is suspect.

Inspect lock assembly:

  • Remove the inner door panel to access the door lock.
  • Check for broken plastic parts or loose mounting screws.
  • Inspect the wiring connector for secure fit.

If the lock microswitch is faulty or the mechanism is damaged, replace the door lock assembly.
