How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely before attempting to release the lock.
- Power reset: After cooling, restore power and try to start and cancel a short cycle to see if the lock releases.
- Manual release: Remove the top panel to access the lock mechanism. Many Hisense locks have a manual release lever that can be moved to unlock the door.
- Inspect lock: Check the lock motor and linkage for binding or broken parts. Replace the lock assembly if damaged.
- Switch test: Test any lock microswitches for proper operation and replace if faulty.
