Possible Causes
Door not fully closed or faulty door switch, Stuck or failed Start button, Control lock enabled, EOC input failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before checking the door switch.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check door closure: Make sure the door is fully closed and latching properly. Adjust hinges if needed.
- Door switch test: Locate the door switch (usually behind the front frame). Test for continuity when the door is closed. Replace if it does not change state.
- Control lock: Verify that the control lock (LOC) is not enabled. Disable it per the user manual.
- Keypad test: If the Start key does not respond while others do, the keypad may be faulty and require replacement.
- Control board: If door switch and keypad are good, the EOC may not be recognizing the start command and should be replaced.
