Viking oven shows F14; self-clean cycle will not start or aborts shortly after starting.

Safety: Do not attempt self-clean if the oven has existing component damage or heavy grease buildup; risk of fire.

Steps:

• Verify the oven door closes fully and the gasket is intact. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
• Start a normal bake cycle and confirm that the door lock does not attempt to engage. Then cancel and start a self-clean to see if the lock engages.
• If the lock does not move, test the door lock motor and switch as in F13. Replace the lock assembly if defective.
• Check the oven temperature sensor for proper resistance; a faulty sensor can prevent self-clean from starting.
• If mechanical and sensor components are good, the EOC may have a self-clean logic fault and should be replaced.
