Possible Causes
Defective door lock position sensor or microswitch, Bent latch mechanism, Loose lock wiring, Control board not detecting lock state
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely if recently in self-clean.
Manual release (if door is stuck locked):
- Consult the Wolf user manual for the specific model's manual door lock release procedure (often accessible from the top or through the vent).
- Once the door is open and the oven is cool, remove the top panel or control panel to access the lock assembly.
Inspection:
- Check the lock position switch for secure mounting and proper actuation by the latch arm.
- Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity in locked and unlocked positions.
- Inspect the latch for bending or misalignment that prevents full travel.
Corrective actions:
- Adjust or replace the door lock switch if it does not reliably indicate locked/unlocked.
- Straighten or replace the door latch mechanism if bent.
- If the switch and latch are good but E11 persists, the control board may not be reading the signal correctly and may require replacement.
