How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Allow the oven to cool completely; surfaces may be extremely hot after self-clean.

  • Wait for cool-down:
    • Give the oven several hours to cool; some models keep the door locked until a safe temperature is reached.
  • Power reset:
    • Turn breaker OFF for 5 minutes, then ON to reset the control.
  • Manual release:
    • Remove the top panel or front trim to access the lock assembly.
    • Use a flat-blade screwdriver to gently move the latch to the unlocked position.
  • Inspect lock assembly:
    • Check the Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly for heat damage or binding.
    • Replace if components are warped or motor is inoperative.
