How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power. Do not force the door open as this can break the glass or hinges.
- Allow cooling: Some Severin ovens keep the door locked until the cavity cools. Wait at least 30–60 minutes and try again.
- Manual release: Consult the user manual for a manual lock release. Often accessible through the top or behind the control panel with a tool.
- Access lock mechanism: Remove the top cover or control panel to reach the door lock assembly.
- Inspect and lubricate: Check for bent levers or obstructions. Lightly lubricate moving parts with high-temperature-safe lubricant.
- Test solenoid/motor: With power disconnected, test the lock coil or motor for continuity. Replace the lock assembly if open or mechanically damaged.
- Reassemble and test: After repair, verify that the door locks and unlocks correctly during normal operation.
