Possible Causes
Overheated or jammed lock motor, Warped door or latch from high heat, Faulty lock position switch, Control board not sending unlock signal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool fully. Do not force the door open with tools; this can damage the glass and hinges.
- Try a power reset: After the oven is completely cool, turn power off for 5–10 minutes, then restore power. Sometimes the control will reinitialize and unlock the door.
- Use manual release (if provided): Some Bertazzoni models have a manual lock release accessible from the top or rear. Consult the service manual; gently move the release lever to unlock the door.
- Inspect lock mechanism: Once open and power is off, access the lock assembly. Check for heat damage, melted plastic, or bent linkage. Replace the lock assembly if damaged.
- Test lock switches and motor: Verify continuity of the motor and switches. If the motor is open or the switch does not change state, replace the lock assembly.
