Self-clean cycle will not start; F13 displayed

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before working near the lock mechanism.

• Step 1 – Confirm door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and the gasket is seated properly. Remove any obstructions.
• Step 2 – Listen for lock motor: With power on, attempt to start self-clean and listen for the lock motor. If it hums but does not lock, the mechanism may be jammed.
• Step 3 – Access lock assembly: Turn power off. Remove the top panel or control panel to access the lock motor and linkage.
• Step 4 – Check alignment: Inspect the lock rod and latch for bending or misalignment. Gently straighten if necessary.
• Step 5 – Test lock switches: Use a multimeter to test the lock position switches for proper continuity in locked and unlocked positions. Replace the lock assembly if switches fail.
• Step 6 – Control board: If the lock assembly is good but not receiving power, the control board may be defective.

Warning: Never force the door open during a self-clean cycle; allow the oven to cool and unlock automatically or have a technician release it.
