Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cold and isolated from mains power before working on the lock mechanism. Pyrolytic cycles reach very high temperatures.
Check the door lock assembly:
- Remove the top front trim or control panel to access the door lock mechanism (on pyrolytic models).
- Inspect the lock arm and linkage for mechanical obstruction or bending.
- Check the lock motor connector and wiring for damage.
- Test the lock position switches (locked/unlocked) with a multimeter for correct continuity when the lock is manually moved.
- If the motor does not run when a pyro cycle is started (with power restored), the lock motor or PCB driver may be faulty.
- Replace the complete door lock assembly if the motor or switches are defective.
Warning: Never force the door open during or immediately after a pyrolytic cycle. Wait until the oven has fully cooled and the lock has released.
