Possible Causes

Overheated or jammed door lock motor, Warped latch from high temperature, Faulty lock position switch, Control board not sending unlock signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely. Do not force the door open with excessive strength; this can damage the frame.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Wait for cooling: Some locks will only release when the temperature sensor reads safe. Allow several hours after self-clean.
  • Power reset: Turn power off for 5 minutes, then restore and see if the lock cycles.
  • Manual release: Access the lock mechanism from the top or rear panel. Many Haier locks have a manual release lever that can be moved to unlock the door.
  • Inspect lock: Check for melted plastic parts or bent linkage.

When to replace parts: Replace the door lock motor assembly if it is jammed or damaged. If the lock is mechanically sound but does not receive an unlock signal, the control board may be faulty.
