How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before accessing the latch assembly.
- Check door alignment: Ensure the oven door closes fully and evenly. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
- Access latch motor: Remove the top or rear panel to reach the latch motor assembly.
- Inspect mechanism: Look for bent or broken linkage preventing the latch from extending.
- Test motor: With power restored and caution, start a self-clean and check for voltage at the latch motor. If voltage is present but the motor does not move, replace the latch motor assembly.
