How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate the oven from the mains before removing panels.

  • Inspect door alignment: Check that the door closes evenly and sits flush with the front of the oven. If sagging, the Falcon oven door hinges may be worn and require replacement.
  • Check latch and striker: Ensure the latch engages fully with the striker. Adjust if possible, or replace the Falcon door latch/striker if damaged.
  • Test door switch: Locate the Falcon oven door switch (often behind the front panel). Test continuity with a multimeter while pressing the switch. Replace it if it does not change state reliably.
