Possible Causes
Faulty door lock motor, Misaligned door latch, Defective door switch, Broken wiring to lock assembly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the oven from mains power. If the door is locked with food inside, do not force it; wait for the cavity to cool.
Steps to check:
- Door alignment: Check that the door closes evenly and that the latch engages smoothly. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
- Access lock assembly: Remove the top or front panel (depending on model) to reach the door lock mechanism.
- Inspect lock motor: Look for signs of overheating or mechanical jamming. Manually move the lock lever to ensure it is not seized.
- Switch test: Use a multimeter to test the door switch or lock position switch for continuity when the door is closed/locked.
- Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the lock to the control board for breaks or loose connectors.
- Replace lock assembly: If the motor or switch is faulty, replace the complete door lock assembly with a Montpellier-compatible part.
