How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing switches or latch mechanisms.
- Check door closure: Close the oven door firmly. Ensure no racks or pans are preventing full closure.
- Inspect hinges: Look for sagging or bent hinges that prevent the door from sealing. If the door does not sit flush, hinge replacement or adjustment may be needed.
- Test door switch: Locate the door switch (usually near the frame). With power off, remove the switch and test continuity with a multimeter while pressing the plunger. Replace if it does not change state.
- Check latch strike: Ensure the latch strike on the door is not loose or broken. Tighten screws or replace the strike if damaged.
When to call a technician: If the door frame is warped or hinges are heavily worn, professional adjustment or replacement is recommended.
