Ilve Door Lock Stuck After Pyrolytic Cycle

Oven door remains locked after a pyrolytic self-clean cycle has finished and the oven is cool.

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

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Lock motor jammed, microswitch not detecting cool temperature, thermal distortion of lock components, failed lock control on PCB

Safety first: Disconnect power. Do not force the door open.

Unlock procedure:

Access the lock mechanism from the top or front and manually move the lock lever to the open position.
Check the lock motor and linkage for signs of heat damage; replace the door lock assembly if distorted.
Verify that the safety thermostat and temperature sensor are functioning so the control knows the oven is cool.
If the lock repeatedly fails after pyro cycles, avoid using self-clean until the lock assembly and control board are inspected and repaired.
