Possible Causes
Failed door switch, Misaligned door latch, Broken actuator on door, Wiring fault between door switch and control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before working around the door switch.
- Locate door switch: The switch is usually mounted behind the front frame where the door closes, or integrated into the latch mechanism.
- Check mechanical action: Open and close the door while observing the switch actuator. Ensure it is fully depressed when the door is closed. Adjust the latch or strike if necessary.
- Test switch continuity: Disconnect the switch and measure continuity while pressing and releasing the actuator. Replace the switch if it does not change state reliably.
- Inspect wiring: Follow the wires from the switch to the control board. Repair any broken or loose connections.
- Re-test: Restore power and verify that the oven now detects door open/closed correctly and that F40 is cleared.
