Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, failed door switch, keypad Start button failure, EOC relay driver failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the circuit breaker before testing switches or removing panels.

Steps to check:

  • Door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and not obstructed.
  • Door switch: Locate and test the door switch for continuity when pressed. Replace if defective.
  • Keypad test: Check if other buttons respond normally. If only the Start button is unresponsive, the keypad membrane may be failing; replace the control panel/touchpad.
  • Control board: If the door switch and keypad are good, the EOC may not be energizing the relays. Replace the EOC.

Tip: Some models require a specific sequence (e.g., set temperature then press Start). Confirm correct operation by consulting the user manual.
