How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and wait until the oven is completely cool.
- Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power to see if the control will complete the unlock cycle.
- Manual unlock: Use the manual release lever if available to open the door.
- Inspect latch assembly: Access the latch motor and switches from the top or front. Check for heat damage or binding.
- Test components: Use a multimeter to test the latch motor and switches. Replace the latch assembly if defective.
- Check control output: If the latch assembly is good, the EOC may not be sending the unlock signal and may need replacement.
