How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely.

  • Wait for cool-down: After self-clean, wait at least 60 minutes to see if the door unlocks on its own.
  • Manual unlock: If still locked, access the lock mechanism from the top or rear and manually move the lock arm to release the door.
  • Inspect for heat damage: Check the latch and lock assembly for warping or melted plastic. Replace the door lock assembly if damaged or slow to move.
  • Test switches: Verify lock/unlock switches change state properly with a multimeter.
