Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the door lock mechanism. Avoid forcing the door; glass can break.
Steps to try:
- Cancel self-clean: If in self-clean, press Cancel and wait several minutes to see if the lock disengages after cooling.
- Inspect latch: Check the door latch hook for bending, debris, or grease buildup that may prevent full movement.
- Access lock assembly: Remove the top panel or rear panel (depending on model) to access the door lock motor and switch assembly.
- Check movement: Manually move the lock arm to ensure it is not jammed. Do not force it if it feels stuck.
- Test switches: Use a multimeter to test continuity of the lock position switches while moving the latch. Replace the lock assembly if the motor or switches are defective.
When to stop: If the door is locked and will not open, or if you are unsure how to safely release the lock, call a technician to avoid damaging the door or frame.
