Possible Causes

Failed door lock motor in unlock direction, Stuck latch due to heat warping, Faulty unlock position switch, Control board not sending unlock signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Allow the oven to cool completely before attempting to force the door.

  • Wait for cooling: Some models keep the door locked until the cavity is below a safe temperature. Confirm that the oven is fully cool.
  • Manual release: Check your RCA manual for a manual door lock release. This may be accessible through the top panel or by removing the back panel and moving the latch by hand.
  • Inspect latch and gasket: Look for warped metal or a displaced door gasket that may be jamming the latch. Correct any mechanical interference.
  • Test lock assembly: With access to the lock motor, test the motor and unlock switch with a multimeter. Replace the assembly if the motor will not run or the switch does not change state.
  • Replace parts: Install a new door lock motor and latch assembly if defective. If the lock assembly is good, the electronic oven control board may be failing to send the unlock command.
