How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and disconnected before inspecting lock or thermostats.
- Check user settings: Confirm that the clock is set and that any required start time is correctly programmed.
- Door lock test: Start a pyrolytic cycle and listen for the lock motor. If no sound and door does not lock, test the lock motor and microswitches as described in lock‑related faults.
- Safety thermostat: Test the pyrolytic safety thermostat for continuity. Replace if open.
- Control board: If lock and thermostat are good, the control board may not be enabling pyrolytic mode and may require replacement.
