Possible Causes

Door not fully closed or lock not engaging, Oven temperature too high to start clean, Control locked out by settings, Faulty door lock switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty and racks are removed before attempting self-clean.

  • Door closure: Make sure the door is fully closed and not obstructed. Check hinges and gasket for proper alignment.
  • Cool-down: If the oven was recently used, allow it to cool to room temperature before starting self-clean.
  • Check settings: Verify that control lock or Sabbath mode is not active. Disable these features per the user manual.
  • Door lock test: Start a self-clean and listen for the lock motor. If it does not run or the door does not lock, the lock assembly or its switch may be faulty and require replacement.

Warning: Do not attempt to run self-clean with a known door lock problem; the door may not lock properly, creating a safety hazard.
