What door
actually means.
The word door on the display means the stove thinks the door is not closed. If the door really is shut, Samsung points to the door plunger switch, a round black cap with a pin that should spring out about 3/4 inch when the door opens.

What to do when door shows on the stoveKind of codeDoor lock
The latch that holds the oven door shut during self-clean did not move where the stove told it to, or its switch reported the wrong position. It turns up most often during or right after a self-clean cycle, or once the door has been lifted off for cleaning. The latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are checked before the lock motor is changed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for door on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door firmly and check that no rack, pan or towel keeps it from sealing.
Open the door and press the plunger switch with a finger; it should move freely and spring back out.
If the plunger is stuck, stiff or does not extend, book a visit.

What not to do
door is not a self-clean lock code. It is a door-closed signal that a stuck plunger or a door that does not shut can trigger.
