How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the oven is completely cool and disconnected from mains.
Steps:
- Consult the Bomann manual for the emergency door release procedure; many models have a manual release lever accessible from the top or behind the control panel.
- After releasing the door, access the door lock assembly and inspect for mechanical damage or stiffness. Clean and lightly lubricate moving parts with high-temperature-safe lubricant.
- Test the lock motor and position switch with a multimeter. Replace the door lock assembly if defective.
- Verify that the temperature sensor is reading correctly; if it falsely reports high temperature, the control may keep the door locked.
