Possible Causes
Failed door monitor switch, Incorrect switch sequence due to misaligned door, Shorted monitor switch wiring, Previous door slam damage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave. Door monitor circuits are tied into safety interlocks and high-voltage control.
Checks:
- Observe whether the error appears immediately when the door is closed or only when starting a cycle.
- Open and close the door gently; avoid slamming. If the error changes or clears temporarily, the switch alignment may be marginal.
Service-only repair:
- The door monitor switch is located behind the control panel and requires removal of the cabinet and switch bracket.
- Because incorrect adjustment can defeat safety interlocks, only a qualified technician should replace or adjust the monitor switch.
