Microwave beeps and displays E06, often immediately after pressing Start.

Safety warning: Do not attempt to bypass door switches or operate the microwave with the door open. This is extremely dangerous.

Steps to try:

• 1. Inspect door latching: Open and close the door firmly but gently. Listen for distinct clicks from the latch mechanism. If the door feels loose or does not click, the latch may be damaged.
• 2. Check for obstructions: Remove any food debris, foil, or packaging caught in the door area or latch openings.
• 3. Visual check: Look at the plastic latch hooks on the door edge. If they appear cracked, bent, or shorter than normal, they may not engage the internal switches.
• 4. Test operation: After cleaning and checking, try a short heating cycle. If E06 reappears, the door switch or latch assembly likely needs replacement.
• 5. Technician-level: Remove the outer cover (after disconnecting power and discharging the capacitor) and test the door sensing switch with a multimeter. Replace the door latch assembly or switch as required.

Do not force the door or tape it closed; this can damage the cabinet and compromise safety.
