Bosch Oven won’t start (door switch)?

[subs]

You can select oven type on selector and then set temperature but the oven wont start.
I have tested everything I can, elements, cut outs etc all is ok. The one thing I’m not sure about (apart from the power board) is the small device that is fitted in the door frame at the top. I thought this maybe some sort of reed switch to stop the oven starting with door open but can’t tell. What I do know is it is open circuit with the door open or closed. What is this and could it be the problem? If not then I guess it’s a board issue but which one? Apart from the display board there is a large power board with relays and a smaller PC board.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Thats the reed sensor and they do fail, only cost about £15

Thanks. Turned out to be the little magnet in the door had fallen out of its housing.
