Possible Causes
Misaligned oven door latch, failed door switch, bent door hinge, obstruction preventing full closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before adjusting the door or latch.
- Check closure: Open and firmly close the oven door. Listen for the latch engaging. Remove any racks or pans that may be blocking closure.
- Inspect hinges: Look for sagging or bent hinges on Café ranges, especially if the door has been heavily loaded.
- Test door switch: With power OFF, access the door switch (usually behind the front frame). Check that the actuator is depressed when the door closes and test continuity with a multimeter.
- Adjust or replace: Adjust the latch strike if misaligned. Replace a defective oven door switch or door latch assembly if it does not signal closed.
