Door lock failure - door-locked switch circuit
From Tech Sheet W12827115, p.47:
1.Check bi-metal device in door lock assembly.
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.
