Self-clean (pyrolytic) cycle does not start or stops prematurely

Safety first: Self-clean reaches very high temperatures. Ensure the oven is empty and cool before troubleshooting.

• Check door lock: Verify that the door locks securely when self-clean is selected. If not, inspect and replace the door lock assembly.
• Inspect vents: Ensure vents are not blocked; overheating will stop the cycle.
• Test sensor: The same oven sensor is used for self-clean; if marginal, it may fail at high temperatures. Replace if readings are out of spec.
• Check thermal fuse: If the oven is completely dead after a failed self-clean, test and replace the thermal fuse.

Recommendation: If self-clean repeatedly fails, consider manual cleaning to avoid stressing components until the fault is resolved.
