Possible Causes

Door not fully closed or lock not engaging, Oven temperature too high or too low to start clean, Control lock or Sabbath mode active, Faulty door lock switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty and racks are removed before attempting self-clean.

  • Verify door and lock: Close the door firmly. Listen for the door lock motor engaging when self-clean is selected. If the lock does not move, inspect the door lock assembly.
  • Check modes: Make sure control lock and Sabbath mode are disabled per the user manual.
  • Temperature conditions: Allow the oven to cool completely if it was recently used. Some models will not start self-clean if the cavity is above a certain temperature.
  • Door switch test: If the oven does not recognize the door as closed, test and replace the door switch or lock switch as needed.

If self-clean still will not start, the electronic control may have a fault; consider using manual cleaning methods until serviced.
