Possible Causes

Thermal expansion of latch components, Slightly jammed door lock mechanism, Faulty door lock sensor not releasing, Control module not sending unlock signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not force the door open; glass may shatter. Switch off the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Release attempts:

  • After cooling, try gently pulling the door while operating the door handle; sometimes the latch releases as parts contract.
  • Disconnect power for several minutes, then restore it and attempt to open the door again.
  • If accessible, use the manual release lever for the lock (refer to the user manual for location).

If the door remains locked, the lock mechanism may need to be accessed from the top or front by removing panels, which is best done by a technician to avoid damaging the glass or trim.
