Safety first: Unplug the microwave before inspecting the door and latch.

Steps to address E14:

1. Visual inspection: Open the door and inspect the plastic latch hooks on the door edge. Look for cracks, bending, or missing pieces.
2. Check door alignment: Close the door slowly and observe gaps around the perimeter. The door should sit evenly against the front frame without sagging.
3. Gentle adjustment: If the door appears slightly misaligned, gently lift or press the handle side while closing to see if the error clears temporarily. This indicates hinge or latch misalignment.
4. Avoid slamming: Repeated slamming can damage the latch and interlock switches. Close the door firmly but gently.
5. If E14 persists: The internal latch bracket or hinges may need adjustment or replacement, which requires cabinet removal.

Recommendation: Have a Toshiba service technician realign or replace the door latch assembly and verify interlock safety operation.

Microwave shows E14 and will not start; sometimes after a door slam or impact.
