Oven door will not unlock after self-clean, F9 error displayed, continuous beeping on some models.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before attempting to unlock the door.

• Manual release: On many Danby ranges, you can access the door lock mechanism by removing the top rear panel. Look for a manual release lever or rod on the lock assembly and gently move it to unlock the door.
• Inspect latch: With the door open, check the latch hook on the door and the strike on the frame for bending or obstruction. Clean any baked-on debris that may prevent movement.
• Test lock motor: With power off, disconnect the lock motor and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed motor; replace the lock assembly.
• Control board check: If the lock assembly tests good, the EOC may not be driving the lock motor correctly. Replacement of the control board may be required.
