This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheated or warped lock mechanism, Failed door lock motor, Jammed lock linkage, High-limit thermostat not reset

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely. Do not force the door open.

Wait for cooling: Some locks will not release until the cavity temperature drops below a threshold. Wait at least 1–2 hours.
Manual release: Remove the top or rear panel to access the lock assembly and manually move the lock lever to unlock the door.
Inspect lock: Check for heat damage or binding. Replace the lock assembly if damaged.
Check high-limit: Test any high-limit thermostats and reset or replace if open.
