How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power before adjusting hinges or accessing switches.
- Check closure: Open and firmly close the oven door. Ensure nothing (pans, racks, foil) is blocking the door from sealing.
- Inspect latch: Examine the door latch at the top or side of the cavity. If bent or loose, adjust or replace.
- Test door switch: Access the door switch behind the front frame (often from the top or control panel area). With power off, remove the switch and test continuity while pressing the actuator. Replace if it does not change state.
- Hinge alignment: If the door sags, inspect the door hinges and hinge receivers. Replace worn hinges to restore proper alignment.
