Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and the latch engages the strike. Adjust hinges or strike if needed.
  • Access lock motor: Remove the top or rear panel to reach the lock motor assembly.
  • Test motor coil: Measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open reading indicates a failed motor; replace the assembly.
  • Inspect linkage: Verify that the linkage between the motor and latch is intact and not bent or disconnected.
  • Check wiring: Test continuity from the control board lock output to the motor. Repair any open wires.
  • Replace assembly: Install a new door lock motor and latch assembly if defective. If wiring and lock are good, the electronic oven control board may not be driving the motor.
