How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before attempting to release the lock.
- Wait for cooling: Ensure the oven cavity is fully cool; the lock will not release while hot.
- Manual release: Remove the top or rear panel to access the door lock assembly. Locate the manual release lever (if present) and gently move it to unlock the door.
- Inspect mechanism: Check for bent parts, broken springs, or obstructions in the lock assembly.
- Test lock motor and switch: With power off, test the lock motor and switch for continuity. Replace the door lock assembly if defective.
