# Samsung range showing door

When Samsung's display reads door, the control believes the door is not closed.

## What door actually means.

When Samsung's display reads door, the control believes the door is not closed. If the door is shut, the plunger switch that senses it may be stuck.

What to do when door shows on the range

### Kind of code Door and lock

The oven door lock did not move to where the control sent it, or its switch reported the wrong position. It shows up most around self-clean; the latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are looked at before the lock motor is changed.

### Usually leads to Door hinge, gasket and lock repair

An oven door that will not close, sits crooked, leaks heat, or stays locked after self-clean, traced to the hinges, the gasket, the glass or the lock.

### Shows up as Range Oven Door Won't Close

The oven door on the range hangs open a crack, sits crooked, springs back open, or will not latch for a clean.

### Make Samsung

A Korean electronics group whose freestanding and slide-in ranges run on gas, electric and induction.

### Source Samsung support article "Samsung range or wall oven error codes"

From Samsung's range code article.

## Questions about door.

### Can I clear door myself?

Close the door firmly and check nothing is caught in it. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the small plunger Samsung mentions for the door message?

It is the door switch: a round black cap with a pin that pops out about 3/4 inch when the door opens. If it sticks, the range keeps thinking the door is open.

### Will a Samsung range heat while it shows door?

The oven expects the door to be closed before it runs. If the message stays with the door shut, the switch needs service.
