Possible Causes
Failed door lock position switch, Misaligned latch mechanism, Broken switch actuator, Wiring issue between switch and EOC
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working near the lock mechanism.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect latch alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and the latch engages the strike properly. Adjust hinges or strike if needed.
- Access lock switch: Remove the top or rear panel to expose the lock assembly. Identify the position switch(es) on the mechanism.
- Test switch: Using a multimeter, check continuity of the switch while manually moving the latch between locked and unlocked positions. The switch should change state (open/closed) reliably.
- Check wiring: Verify continuity from the switch to the EOC connector. Repair any broken or loose wires.
- Replace assembly: If the switch or actuator is damaged or intermittent, replace the entire lock assembly.
