Frigidaire Microwave 'door' message — Door not fully closed

Frigidaire Microwave · Error code door

What door Means

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.

Symptoms

  • 'door' appears when pressing Start
  • Microwave does not begin cooking
  • Light may stay on

Common Causes

1
Door not fully closed

Slight gap stops the primary interlock from making.

2
Object or food residue at latch

Splatter on the latch hook prevents full closure.

3
Sagging hinge

Door drops slightly so latch hooks miss the switches.

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.
