How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave.

  • Inspect door alignment: Check that the door sits squarely in the frame and closes evenly. Look for sagging or gaps.
  • Check latch hooks: Examine the plastic hooks on the door for wear or cracks. Replace the door latch assembly if damaged.
  • Adjust hinges (if possible): On some built-in Zanussi models, hinge screws can be slightly loosened and the door realigned, then retightened.
  • Test door sensing switch: Access the interlock assembly and test the specific door sense switch with a multimeter. Replace if it does not change state correctly.
