How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before adjusting hinges or switches.

  • Check door closure:
    • Ensure the door closes fully and the gasket is not obstructing.
    • Look for sagging or misaligned hinges.
  • Inspect latch and switch:
    • Locate the door latch and associated switch (often behind the front frame).
    • Verify the latch fully depresses the switch when the door is closed.
  • Adjust or replace:
    • Adjust hinges or latch if misaligned.
    • Replace the door switch if it does not change state when actuated (test with a multimeter).
