Bosch Microwave Error Code E723 — Door Not Properly Closed
What this means
Error E723 appears when the door is not fully latched. The microwave's safety interlock system prevents operation unless the door is confirmed closed. This can be caused by food debris in the latch area, a worn door seal, or misaligned door hooks.
Step-by-step fix
4 stepsOpen and close the door firmly
Open the door fully and close it with a firm push to ensure the latches engage completely.
Clean the latch area
Check for food particles or debris around the door hooks and latch slots. Clean with a damp cloth.
Check door alignment
Make sure the door is not sagging or misaligned. It should close flush against the microwave body.
Inspect door hooks
Look at the plastic hooks on the door for cracks or bending. Damaged hooks won't engage the interlock switches.
When to call a professional
If the door hooks are broken or the interlock switches need replacement, this requires professional service due to high-voltage components.
