How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool and empty before attempting self-clean.
- Check door closure: Make sure the door is fully closed and latched. Inspect hinges and gasket for obstructions.
- Test other modes: Verify that normal bake and broil functions work; if not, a safety thermostat may be open.
- Inspect lock mechanism: With power off, access the door lock assembly from the top or rear. Check for binding or broken parts.
- Switch test: Use a multimeter to test the lock position switches. Replace the lock assembly if switches fail.
- Thermostat reset: Some models have a manual-reset high-limit thermostat accessible from the rear. Reset if tripped, but investigate overheating causes.
Warning: Do not force the door into lock; this can damage the mechanism.
