How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate the oven from the mains before removing panels.
- Inspect door alignment: Check that the door closes evenly and sits flush with the front of the oven. If sagging, the Falcon oven door hinges may be worn and require replacement.
- Check latch and striker: Ensure the latch engages fully with the striker. Adjust if possible or replace the Falcon door latch/striker if damaged.
- Test door switch: Locate the Falcon oven door switch (often behind the front panel). Test continuity with a multimeter while pressing the switch. Replace if it does not change state reliably.
