How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the latch or removing the door panel.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly. Listen for a positive click from the latch.
- Inspect latch strike: Check the metal or plastic strike on the cabinet for bending or misalignment. Adjust its position so it engages fully with the lock.
- Test door switch: Remove the inner door panel to access the door lock assembly. Test the microswitch with a multimeter for continuity when the latch is engaged. Replace the door lock assembly if faulty.
- Check wiring: Ensure the harness from the door lock to the control board is intact and firmly connected.
