How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before any internal inspection.
User-level checks:
- Check that the door closes firmly and evenly on all sides.
- Look for visible damage to the door, hinges, or latch area.
- Gently press on the door during a short test (without covering vents) to see if movement triggers the error; if so, the latch/switch system is suspect.
Technician-level checks:
- Inspect the door latch bracket and switches for play or misalignment.
- Tighten any loose mounting screws and ensure the latch hooks fully engage the switches.
- Test each door switch with a multimeter for stable continuity when actuated; replace any intermittent switch.
- Check the wiring harness from the switches to the control board for broken conductors or loose connectors.
Do not bypass door switches. If the door assembly is warped, the complete door may need replacement.
