How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power at the breaker.
- Check door and latch: Ensure the door closes fully and the latch is not rubbing or bent.
- Lubricate lightly: With power off, access the lock mechanism and apply a very small amount of high-temperature-safe lubricant to pivot points (avoid switches and motor).
- Test motor speed: Restore power and start a self-clean; listen to the lock motor. If it sounds weak or stalls, replace the door lock motor assembly.
- Verify voltage: Ensure the range is on a dedicated 240 V circuit with proper wire size; low voltage can cause slow lock operation.
