Possible Causes

Misaligned door latch, Failed magnetic or mechanical door switch, Broken door strike

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the smoker before adjusting the door or switch.

  • Inspect door closure: Close the door slowly and verify it aligns evenly with the cabinet. Look for gaps or twisted hinges.
  • Check latch and strike: Examine the door latch and the cabinet strike plate or magnet. Tighten any loose screws and ensure the latch fully engages when the door is closed.
  • Locate door switch: Find the door switch (mechanical plunger or magnetic reed) near the door frame. Press it manually (for plunger types) and listen for a click.
  • Test continuity: With the smoker unplugged, disconnect the switch and test continuity while pressing and releasing it. Replace the switch if it does not open and close reliably.
  • Adjust door alignment: If the door is sagging, slightly loosen the hinge screws, lift the door into proper alignment, and retighten.
