Possible Causes

Stuck door switch, Shorted door sensor wiring, Faulty input circuit on main PCB, Incorrect door sensor type after replacement

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing the door switch circuit.

Steps to address E13:

  • Manually test switch: With the unit unplugged, access the door switch and test continuity with a multimeter while actuating it. It should change state (open/close) reliably.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or shorted wires around the door frame and hinge area.
  • Confirm correct part: If the switch was recently replaced, verify that the correct Siemens part number and sensor type (NO/NC or Hall) was used.
  • Replace switch: If the switch is intermittent or stuck, install a new door switch / sensor.

If E13 remains, the main PCB may misinterpret the door signal and should be replaced by a technician.
