How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting door components.
- Step 1 – Check door alignment: Inspect the door hinges for sagging or play. Tighten hinge screws and adjust so the latch hook aligns correctly with the Fagor door lock opening.
- Step 2 – Test door lock contacts: Access the door lock and test the status contacts with a multimeter while manually engaging the lock. If the contacts do not change state, replace the door lock assembly.
- Step 3 – Inspect wiring: Verify continuity of the wires from the door lock to the main PCB. Repair any breaks or loose connectors.
- Step 4 – Re-test: After reassembly, run a short program to confirm the error is cleared.
