How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing internal door components.

  • Confirm door closure: Push door firmly closed and listen for latch engagement. Remove any dishes blocking the door.
  • Check for control lock: Many Monogram models have a control lock feature. Look for a lock icon and hold the designated button (often 3–5 seconds) to unlock.
  • Reset control: Turn off power at the breaker for 2 minutes, then restore and try again.
  • Test door switch: If the unit still will not start, access the latch assembly and test the door switch for continuity when closed.

Replace a faulty latch/switch or UI panel as needed to restore normal operation.
