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.
