Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, Faulty door switch, Child lock function activated

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not bypass safety interlocks for normal operation.

  • Check door closure: Close the door firmly until you hear a click. Ensure no clothing is trapped in the door seal.
  • Child lock: Refer to the Montpellier manual to see if a child lock icon is displayed. Disable the lock using the documented button combination.
  • Test door switch: Listen for a click when closing the door. If absent, the switch may be faulty. Access and test the door switch with a multimeter and replace if necessary.
  • Reset control: Turn the selector to OFF, wait 30 seconds, then select a program and press start again.
