Possible Causes

Faulty door switch, Misaligned door latch or strike, Failed door lock motor position switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing door or lock components.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Adjust or tighten hinges if the door sags.
  • Inspect latch and strike: Look for bent or worn latch/strike. Replace if the latch does not fully engage.
  • Test door switch: On models with a separate door switch, remove the front trim and test the switch for continuity when the door is closed. Replace if defective.
  • Check lock assembly: If the error appears only during self-clean, test the lock motor and position switches and replace the lock assembly if they fail.
