How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing door components.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly. Adjust hinges or replace hinge runners if the door is sagging.
- Inspect door catch: Examine the metal or plastic catch on the door and the corresponding latch in the cabinet. Replace any broken or bent parts.
- Test door switch: Locate the door switch or magnetic reed sensor (often behind the front panel). Test for continuity when the door is closed. Replace if readings are incorrect.
- Check wiring: Follow the sensor wires back to the PCB and repair any breaks or loose connectors.
