Oven shows E16 and pyrolytic self-clean cycle cannot start (on pyrolytic models).

Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty and racks removed before any pyrolytic cycle. Disconnect power before mechanical checks.

Steps to check:

• Check that the door lock engages fully when a clean cycle is requested. If not, inspect the lock assembly and hinges for misalignment.
• Test the overheat thermostat dedicated to pyro mode (often mounted on the top or rear of the cavity) for continuity.
• Verify the temperature sensor is correctly connected and not damaged.
• Clear any error by disconnecting power for several minutes, then retry the cycle.
• If E16 persists, the main control board may have a fault in its safety circuit and require replacement.

Warning: Never bypass pyrolytic safety devices; the oven reaches extremely high temperatures during cleaning.
