Possible Causes
Door not locking fully, Faulty door lock switch, Oven temperature sensor out of range, Control board inhibiting clean due to fault history
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not bypass safety devices to force a self-clean; this can be dangerous.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and the latch engages. Adjust hinges or latch if needed.
- Test door lock: Start a clean cycle and listen for the lock motor. If it does not run, test the lock motor and switches and replace the lock assembly if faulty.
- Verify sensor: A bad sensor can prevent self-clean. Test and replace the oven temperature sensor if out of spec.
- Control reset: Clear any error codes and perform a power reset. If self-clean still will not start, the control board may need replacement.
