Possible Causes

Overheated or jammed door lock motor, Warped latch from high heat, Faulty door lock switch not signaling unlock

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not force the door open; glass can shatter. Allow the oven to cool completely.

Steps to try:

  • Cool down: Wait until the oven is completely cool (this may take several hours). Many locks will release automatically once a safe temperature is reached.
  • Power reset: Turn off power for 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes the control will reinitialize and release the lock.
  • Manual release: On some models, a manual release lever is accessible from behind the control panel or through the top. Consult the service manual before attempting.
  • Inspect lock assembly: If the door remains locked, the lock motor or linkage may need replacement by a technician.
