How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Door and lock: Confirm the door closes firmly and the lock engages. Adjust hinges or replace lock assembly if needed.
  • Sensor check: Test the oven temperature sensor; replace if out of spec.
  • Cooling fan: Verify the cooling fan runs when starting self-clean. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
