Possible Causes

Defective oven door switch, Misaligned door latch or hinge, Broken door switch actuator, Wiring issue between door switch and control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels or testing continuity.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the oven door closes fully and evenly. Look for bent hinges, warped door, or obstructions.
  • Test door switch:
    • Locate the door switch (usually in the front frame near the door latch).
    • Press the switch plunger by hand; you should hear a distinct click.
    • With a multimeter, test continuity across the switch terminals while pressing and releasing the plunger. Replace the switch if it does not change state.
  • Inspect actuator and bracket: Make sure the door latch or striker properly engages the switch when the door is closed. Adjust or replace bent parts as needed.
  • Wiring check: Inspect the harness from the door switch to the control board for damage or loose connections.
