How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before servicing.
- 1. Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and evenly. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
- 2. Inspect door lock: Access the door lock and check for physical damage or moisture. Dry any condensation.
- 3. Verify wiring: Reseat the connector at the door lock and control board. Look for corrosion or loose pins.
- 4. Replace door lock assembly: If the status sensor inside the lock is faulty, replace the entire door lock unit.
- 5. Control board diagnosis: If E dS persists with a new lock and good wiring, the control board may not be reading the sensor correctly. Professional service is recommended.
