Maytag Door locked condition after self-clean

Oven door will not open after self-clean (no code displayed)

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Latch mechanism jammed, latch motor failed in locked position, high temperature sensor still reading hot, warped door or latch

Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker before attempting manual release.

Allow full cool-down: Wait several hours after self-clean; the door will not unlock until the sensor reads a safe temperature.
Power reset: Turn breaker OFF for 5 minutes, then ON to reset the control.
Manual release: Access the latch from the top or rear and manually move the latch to unlock the door.
Inspect latch assembly: Check for heat-damaged parts and replace the latch assembly if it binds or the motor is seized.
