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.
