Wolf Door Stuck Locked After Self-Clean

Wolf oven door will not unlock after self-clean; no error code is displayed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheated or jammed door lock motor, Warped door or latch from high heat, Failed lock position switch, High-limit thermostat tripped

Safety: Allow the oven to cool completely; this may take several hours after self-clean.

Steps:

After cooling, cycle power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and see if the lock resets.
If still locked, use the model-specific manual door lock release (refer to Wolf documentation; often accessible from the top or through the vent).
Once open, inspect the door lock motor and latch for binding or heat damage.
Test the lock switch and replace the lock assembly if it is noisy, weak, or intermittent.
