How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven has fully cooled. Disconnect from mains before attempting mechanical adjustments.
Steps to check:
- Allow cool-down: Some models keep the door locked until the cavity is below a safe temperature. Wait at least 30–60 minutes.
- Power reset: Turn off power for 10 minutes, then restore to see if the lock resets.
- Access lock: Remove the top panel to reach the pyrolytic lock assembly.
- Inspect mechanism: Check for bent levers, broken plastic parts, or obstructions preventing movement.
- Switch test: Test the lock position switch for correct operation with a multimeter.
- Manual release: Some locks have a manual release lever; consult the service manual and carefully operate it to open the door.
- Replace lock assembly: If the motor or switch is defective, replace the complete pyrolytic lock assembly.
