Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before checking internal wiring. Do not wiggle live wires.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check power connection: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and the cord is not damaged. Avoid using extension cords.
- 2. Inspect door lock: A failing door lock can momentarily open the safety circuit. Check for signs of wear or overheating and replace if suspect.
- 3. Reseat wiring harnesses: Remove the top panel and reseat connectors on the main control board, motor, and other key components.
- 4. Check for overheating: Look for discoloration or heat damage on the control board. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
When to call a technician: If intermittent issues persist, detailed electrical diagnosis is needed and is best handled by a professional.
