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

Possible Causes

Lock motor jammed, High temperature not yet dropped below threshold, Warped latch, Faulty lock switch

Safety first: Do not force the door open. Allow the oven to cool completely.

Wait for cooling: Some models keep the door locked until the temperature sensor reads safe. Wait at least 1–2 hours after self-clean.
Power reset: Turn off power for 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes the lock will cycle and release.
Manual release: Access the manual door lock release (if provided) through the top or rear panel.
Service lock assembly: If the door remains locked, replace the door lock motor and switch assembly.
