MDL invalid state
From Service Manual 973609, p.21:
1.Disconnect power to the unit, wait 30 seconds, then reapply power.
2.Measure door lock assembly resistance across the PTC terminals. Expected: ~200 ohms cold, rising sharply once energized.
3.Inspect strike and latch alignment. A warped door or misaligned strike prevents the switch stack from closing in the correct sequence.
