Possible Causes

Faulty door switch not indicating closed, Defective touchpad Start key, Control board logic fault, Child lock or Sabbath mode enabled

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before testing door switches or removing the control panel.

  • Check modes: Ensure the oven is not in Sabbath mode or control lock mode. Refer to the user manual to disable these features.
  • Door switch test: Listen for a click when closing the door. Test the door switch with a multimeter for proper continuity when the door is closed. Replace if faulty.
  • Keypad test: If other keys work but Start does not, the touchpad may be defective. Replace the control panel/touchpad assembly.
  • Control board: If switches and keypad are good, the control board may not be processing the start command and will need replacement.

Warning: Do not bypass door switches; they are safety devices.
