Possible Causes
Door not fully closed or latch not engaging, Faulty door lock switch, Oven temperature too high or too low to start clean, EOC self-clean logic fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty and racks are removed before attempting self-clean.
- Verify door closure: Close the door firmly and listen for the latch engaging. Adjust hinges or latch if the door is loose.
- Check door lock function: Start self-clean and listen for the lock motor. If it does not run, the lock motor or switch may be faulty.
- Temperature conditions: The oven may not start self-clean if it is already hot from recent use. Allow it to cool to room temperature and try again.
- Control reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, restore power, and attempt self-clean again. If it still will not start, the door lock assembly or EOC may need replacement.
When to call a technician: Self-clean involves very high temperatures; if the lock system is unreliable, professional repair is recommended.
