Possible Causes
Faulty door microswitch, Misaligned door latch, Broken switch actuator, Damaged switch wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Do not bypass door safety switches; they prevent operation with open panels.
- Identify the door or service hatch switch (microswitch) on the ash door, burner door, or main service panel.
- Check that the door closes fully and presses the switch actuator lever or plunger.
- Adjust the door latch or hinges if the door is sagging and not engaging the switch.
- Inspect the switch for physical damage and test continuity with a multimeter when pressed.
- Repair or replace damaged wiring to the switch.
If the switch tests faulty, replace it with a similar temperature‑rated microswitch approved for Defro furnaces.
