How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before removing any panels.
Steps:
- 1. Firmly close door: Open and close the door several times with moderate force to ensure the latches engage. Do not slam.
- 2. Check for play: Gently lift the door up and down. Excessive play can prevent the door open switch from changing state.
- 3. Visual inspection: Inspect the door hooks and the latch openings for cracks or obstructions.
- 4. Door switch test (for competent DIYers): Remove the outer cover and locate the door switch cluster. Test the door open switch with a multimeter for proper open/close operation as the door moves.
- 5. Replace faulty switch or latch: Install a new Logik-compatible door switch or latch assembly if the existing one is defective or damaged.
Never bypass door switches; they are critical safety components.
