NOTES:
1"Action Taken" applies as long as the condition exists. If the condition is corrected, the control recovers.
2Flash rate: 0.2 seconds on, 0.1 second off. Pressing any key clears the display until the fault clears and is re-triggered.
3"Action Taken" applies until there is a POR (Power On Reset ["hard reset"]).
4If the control believes the door is locked, unlock it when the function cancels and the cavity temperature cools.
5Special conditions for latch faults (9dxx):
•A known good unlock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads closed and lock switch reads open.
•A known good lock position is defined as when the unlock switch reads open and lock switch reads closed.
•A faulted switch means the switch input is reading an invalid state, neither open nor closed.
•If at POR, the latch is not at a known good unlock position.
•Affected DLBs (Double Line Breaks) and loads are disabled during detection.
•If the control is in a known good unlock position and the lock switch becomes faulted:
•The control will not fault.
•If a function requiring latch movement is attempted while the lock switch is faulted, the control will sound an error
tone and the function will be disabled.
