How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety warning: Never bypass door safety switches. Repairs must maintain RF shielding and safety compliance.
Steps to try:
- 1. Inspect door alignment: Check that the door sits evenly in the frame and does not rub on one side. If the door sags, the hinges may be worn.
- 2. Clean contact surfaces: Wipe the door frame and latch area to remove grease that may prevent full closure.
- 3. Gentle closing: Close the door firmly but not forcefully. Listen for the usual clicks. If E19 appears when lightly touching or moving the door, the switches may be loose.
- 4. Technician-level: Access the door switch bracket, tighten mounting screws, and test each switch with a multimeter. Replace any switch with intermittent readings.
If E19 persists, stop using the microwave until the door system is repaired.
