door — Frigidaire Microwave 'door' message — Door not fully closed

Some Frigidaire/Electrolux models display 'door' (or 'door open') when a cycle is started without the door fully latched. Usually a user prompt, not a hardware fault.

How to fix it

  1. Open and firmly re-close the door; press Start.
  2. Wipe the latch hooks and the strike area inside the cabinet.
  3. Inspect hinges for cracks — replace the door if hinges have sagged.

Why it happens

Typical signs: 'door' appears when pressing Start · Microwave does not begin cooking · Light may stay on

  • Door not fully closed Slight gap stops the primary interlock from making.
  • Object or food residue at latch Splatter on the latch hook prevents full closure.
  • Sagging hinge Door drops slightly so latch hooks miss the switches.
