Faulty door switch, Defective start button, Blown thermal fuse, Failed motor relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing components.
Steps:
- Confirm door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and the latch engages. Listen for a click from the door switch.
- Test door switch: Access the door switch and check continuity when the door is closed. Replace if faulty.
- Check thermal fuse: Test the thermal fuse on the exhaust duct; replace if open.
- Start button and control: If equipped with a physical start switch, test it for continuity when pressed. If all switches and fuses are good, the motor relay or control board may be defective.
