Possible Causes
Misaligned door strike after installation, Bent door hinge, Loose door switch bracket, Damaged door gasket preventing full closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting hinges or latches.
- Inspect door alignment: Check that the door sits evenly in the opening and that the gap is uniform. If the door sags, the hinge screws may be loose.
- Tighten hinges: Open the door and tighten the hinge screws on both the door and cabinet side. Gently lift the door while tightening to correct sag.
- Adjust door strike: Loosen the screws holding the door strike and adjust its position so it fully engages the door switch when closed. Retighten screws.
- Check door gasket: Inspect the door seal for deformation or foreign objects. Clean and reseat the gasket if necessary.
- Test operation: Restore power and close the door firmly. If E13 persists, test the door switch electrically and replace if defective.
