Possible Causes

Failed door lock motor, Jammed lock mechanism from heat, Faulty lock position switch, Wiring issue between lock and EOC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before attempting to unlock.

  • Manual unlock: Access the lock mechanism from the top or rear panel and manually move the lock lever to unlock the door.
  • Inspect lock assembly: Check for melted plastic, bent linkage, or seized motor. Replace the door lock assembly if damaged.
  • Test switches: Use a multimeter to verify continuity of the lock and unlock switches when the mechanism is moved. Replace if faulty.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the lock to the EOC for heat damage or loose connectors.
  • Control board: If the lock assembly and wiring are good but F90 persists, replace the EOC.
