How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the oven is completely cool before forcing the door.
- Wait and reset: Turn off power at the breaker for 5–10 minutes, then restore. Sometimes the control will complete the unlock sequence after a reset.
- Manual release: Locate the manual door lock release (if provided) through the top or vent area and move it to unlock the door.
- Inspect latch: Once open and cool, access the latch assembly and check for binding or heat damage.
- Replace latch assembly: If the latch motor or switches are unreliable, replace the entire door lock assembly.
