How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before working on switches or wiring.
How to fix:
- Locate switch: Identify the door or bin switch, usually near the top frame or side wall.
- Check alignment: Ensure the door or bin properly presses the switch plunger or magnet area when closed. Adjust the bracket or door alignment if needed.
- Test switch: Remove the switch from its housing and test for continuity with a multimeter while actuating it. Replace if it does not change state reliably.
- Inspect wiring: Check for loose connectors or broken wires leading to the switch. Repair or replace as necessary.
- Reset error: After replacement or adjustment, restore power and confirm that the E13 error clears when the door/bin is closed.
