Safety First: Disconnect power before servicing the door.

Steps:

• Inspect latch movement: With the door open, manually move the latch hook and ensure it moves freely and returns by spring tension.
• Check wiring: Remove inner door panel and inspect the latch wiring for pinched or shorted wires to the metal door frame.
• Test switch: Use a multimeter to test the door switch for proper open/closed operation. Replace if it reads closed in both positions.
• Replace latch assembly: If the switch is stuck or the latch is damaged, install a new Maytag door latch assembly.
