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.
