Possible Causes
Defective door lock position switch, Misaligned door strike causing partial engagement, Loose connector at door lock, Faulty main control input circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before working around the door opening.
- Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely and the strike fully enters the lock opening. Adjust hinges or strike if needed.
- Inspect lock and connector: Access the door lock assembly, unplug and re-seat the connector, and check for bent pins.
- Test lock switch: With the lock removed, use a meter to verify the position switch changes state when the latch is engaged. If not, replace the door lock assembly.
- Replace control board if needed: If a new lock does not clear E44, the main control's sensing circuit may be defective and require replacement.
