How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before servicing the door lock.
- Inspect door lock feedback switch: Many locks have separate contacts for locked/unlocked status. Test these with a multimeter while manually actuating the lock.
- Check harness: Verify continuity from the lock feedback terminals to the main control connector. Repair any broken wires.
- Replace lock assembly: If the feedback switch is faulty, replace the entire door lock assembly with the correct KitchenAid part.
- Control board: If wiring and lock are good, the main control may be misreading the signal and require replacement.
