Magic Chef oven display shows "door" or a flashing door icon; oven will not start or self-clean.

Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door or latch.

• Verify door closure: Open and firmly close the door. Listen for a solid latch click. Check for obstructions around the gasket.
• Inspect hinges and latch: Look for bent hinges or a loose latch striker. Tighten mounting screws and adjust as needed.
• Test door switch: On models with a visible plunger switch, press it manually and see if the display changes. If not, the switch may be faulty.
• Check lock assembly (self-clean): If the error appears during self-clean, the door lock motor or switch may not be reaching the locked position. Inspect and replace the door lock assembly if defective.

When to call a technician: If the door is physically damaged or the lock mechanism is inaccessible, professional service is advised.
