HI. This will generally be an issue with either the wiring at the door switchmechanism, or the door switch itself. Check the door lock switches and wiring. If the wiring is connected well, this will lead to a failed door lock switch mechanism. Use my procedure below to confirm switch failure.
Before repairs or further testing can begin you must disconnect the electricity at the fuse panel, at the circuit breaker panel, or by pulling the plug. Make sure the power is off before proceeding. Once access is gained, set the latch to the "clean" position and test for circuit continuity at the terminals of the switch with your VOM's ohmmeter function. If there is no continuity, the switch is faulty. Use cuation when testing.
