How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting mechanical parts.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly on both sides. Look for bent hinges or obstructions on the door seal.
- Inspect latch: Examine the door catch and strike plate for wear or damage. Tighten loose screws and adjust the strike so the door engages the switch fully.
- Test operation: With power restored, gently press on the door while starting a program. If the machine runs only when pressure is applied, the door switch or latch needs adjustment or replacement.
- Replace door switch if needed: Access the switch behind the control panel or door frame (model dependent) and replace with an original Winterhalter part.
