Possible Causes
Overheated or jammed door lock mechanism, Warped door or latch, Faulty lock motor not releasing, Control board not sending unlock signal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the oven to cool completely; the lock will not release while the cavity is hot. Disconnect power before attempting manual release.
- Wait and power reset: After the cycle, wait at least 30–60 minutes. Turn power off for 5 minutes, then on again to trigger an unlock attempt.
- Manual release: Consult the user or service manual for the manual release method (often accessible through the top or front panel). Gently move the release lever to unlock.
- Inspect lock: Once open and power is off, access the lock assembly and check for bent parts or melted plastic. Replace the door lock assembly if damaged.
- Check alignment: Ensure the door strike aligns correctly with the lock.
Warning: Do not force the door open; this can damage the glass and hinges.
