Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before testing switches or removing panels.
Steps to check:
- Door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and not obstructed.
- Door switch: Locate and test the door switch for continuity when pressed. Replace if defective.
- Keypad test: Check if other buttons respond normally. If only Start is unresponsive, the keypad membrane may be failing; replace the control panel/touchpad.
- Control board: If door switch and keypad are good, the EOC may not be energizing the relays. Replace the EOC.
Tip: Some models require a specific sequence (e.g., set temperature then press Start). Confirm correct operation from the user manual.
