Possible Causes
Failed latch motor, jammed latch, overheated latch components, wiring issue, failed EOC latch control
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker before attempting manual release.
- Allow full cool-down: Wait until the oven is completely cool; the door will not unlock while the sensor reads high temperature.
- Manual release: Access the latch area from the top or rear and manually move the latch to the unlocked position if possible.
- Inspect latch assembly: Look for heat-damaged plastic parts or binding in the latch mechanism.
- Test motor and wiring: With power restored and caution, command a lock/unlock and check for motor operation and voltage.
- Replace latch assembly: If the motor is weak or seized, replace the complete latch motor assembly.
