Microwave shows E14; door appears closed but unit will not start.

Safety: Unplug the microwave before attempting any adjustments.

User-level steps:

• 1. Inspect door alignment: Close the door and check that the gaps around the door are even. If the top or bottom gap is larger, the hinges may be misaligned.
• 2. Check latch hooks: Open the door and inspect the plastic latch hooks on the door edge. Look for cracks, wear, or deformation.
• 3. Tighten hinge screws: If accessible from the front (some Breville models allow this with the door open), gently tighten any loose hinge screws using the correct screwdriver.
• 4. Gentle adjustment: If the door sags slightly, carefully lift the door while closing to see if the error clears. This indicates hinge or latch wear that may need parts replacement.

If E14 persists or the door appears damaged, do not force it closed. Contact a technician to replace the latch or hinge components. Never attempt to operate the microwave with a misaligned or damaged door, as this can compromise microwave containment.
