How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting or replacing switches.
- Locate switch: Identify the door switch or service panel switch near the bin door or access panel.
- Check alignment: Ensure the door or panel fully depresses the switch plunger when closed. Adjust hinges or latch if needed.
- Test switch: Disconnect the switch and test continuity with a multimeter while pressing and releasing the actuator. Replace if readings are inconsistent.
- Inspect actuator: Look for broken plastic tabs or brackets that press the switch. Replace or repair as necessary.
- Reassemble and test: Restore power and confirm the E17 code clears when the door/panel is properly closed.
