Possible Causes

Faulty door switch, misaligned door, broken switch actuator, wiring fault between switch and control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains power before working around the door area.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
  • Test door switch: Locate the door switch (often behind the front frame). Press it manually and listen for a click. Test continuity with a multimeter in both pressed and released positions.
  • Inspect actuator: Confirm that the door correctly depresses the switch plunger when closed. Adjust or replace the actuator tab if bent.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the switch wiring for breaks or loose connectors.
  • Replace switch: If the switch is intermittent or open when pressed, replace it with an AGA-compatible door switch.
