Avanti Door Interlock Circuit Malfunction

Microwave interior light, fan, or turntable runs when the door is open, or continues running after cycle ends.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Stuck or welded door switch, Misadjusted door latch, Shorted control relay, Wiring short in interlock circuit

Safety: This condition can be hazardous. Unplug the microwave immediately and do not use it until repaired.

Steps:

1. Inspect door movement: Ensure the door opens and closes smoothly and is not binding.
2. Test door switches: Access the door switch assembly and test each switch for proper operation with a multimeter. Replace any switch that remains closed when it should be open.
3. Check control board: If switches test good, the control board relay controlling the fan/light/turntable may be stuck and the board will need replacement.
