How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check door closure: Make sure the door closes firmly and the door latch engages. Adjust hinges or latch if needed.
  • Test lock mechanism: Start a self-clean cycle and listen for the door lock motor. If it does not run, test the lock motor and switches for continuity with power off.
  • High-limit thermostat: If the high-limit thermostat is open, the control may block self-clean. Test and replace if necessary.
  • Control settings: Some models require specific conditions (cool oven, clock set). Verify the clock is set and the oven is at room temperature.
