Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool fully before attempting to free the latch.
- Check for obstructions: Inspect the door latch area for bent metal, food debris, or misaligned strike that could block movement.
- Manual release: Use the manual release lever (if provided) to unlock the door. This is often accessible from the top or through the vent.
- Access latch assembly: Remove the top panel or front trim to reach the latch motor and linkage.
- Test motor and switches: With power off, test the latch motor for continuity and the position switches for proper operation using a multimeter.
- Replace latch assembly: If the motor is open or the mechanism is damaged, replace the complete latch assembly.
