How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the oven has fully cooled. Disconnect power before attempting manual release.
- Wait for cool-down: Some locks only release when the cavity temperature drops below a threshold. Allow several hours.
- Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 10 minutes, then restore power to see if the lock resets.
- Manual release: Access the lock mechanism from the top or front (depending on model) and use the manual release lever or gently move the lock bar to open the door.
- Inspect mechanism: Once open, inspect the lock for heat damage or misalignment. Replace if components are warped or switches are unreliable.
Warning: Do not force the door open by pulling; this can damage the glass and hinges.
