Oven shows E07 and will not start; door appears closed but lock symbol may flash on display.

Safety first: Disconnect power before working around the door lock mechanism.

• Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Look for bent hinges, warped door, or debris on the door gasket preventing full closure.
• Inspect latch and strike: Examine the metal latch hook on the door and the strike/receiver in the cabinet. Straighten any bent parts and tighten loose screws.
• Access door lock assembly: Remove the top panel or front trim to reach the door lock mechanism (usually at the top front of the cavity). Inspect the lock motor and microswitches.
• Test switches: With power off, use a multimeter to check continuity of the door lock switch(es) while manually operating the lock. Replace if they do not change state correctly.
• Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the lock assembly to the control board for breaks or loose connectors.
• Replace lock assembly: If the motor does not actuate or the mechanism is jammed, replace the complete door lock assembly.
