This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

Possible Causes

Door not locking, Faulty door lock switch, Self-clean thermostat open, Control board self-clean inhibit

Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty and racks are removed before attempting self-clean.

Check door lock: Start self-clean and listen for the door lock motor. If the door does not lock, the cycle will not start.
Inspect lock switch: Test the door lock switch for continuity when the lock is engaged.
Test self-clean thermostat: Verify continuity of the self-clean thermal cutout. Replace if open.
Control settings: Ensure the clock is set and no timers are active that might prevent self-clean.
