How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the lock mechanism. Avoid forcing the door open.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check for obstruction: Inspect the door latch area for baked-on debris or misaligned strike. Clean and realign as needed.
- Access lock motor: Remove the top or rear panel to reach the lock motor assembly. Observe the linkage for binding or disconnection.
- Test motor and switches: With power off, test the lock motor coil for continuity and the lock/unlock switches for proper operation using a multimeter. Replace the lock assembly if readings are out of spec.
- Inspect harness: Verify that the harness from the lock assembly to the EOC is intact and firmly connected.
- Control replacement: If the lock assembly and wiring are good, replace the EOC.
