Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, Faulty door switch, Keypad Start button failure, Control board not recognizing input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before testing switches.

  • Confirm door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and the latch engages. Listen for the click of the door switch.
  • Test door switch: Access the door switch (often behind the front frame) and test for continuity when the door is closed. Replace if it does not change state.
  • Check keypad: If other buttons respond but Start does not, the keypad may be failing. Replace the touchpad/control panel if necessary.
  • Control logic: If switches and keypad are good, the control board may not be processing the Start command and may need replacement.
