Possible Causes
Failed door lock motor assembly, Broken or jammed door latch, Faulty door lock switch, Wiring issue between lock and EOC
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. The door lock mechanism can move unexpectedly; keep fingers clear of moving parts.
- Check for mechanical jam: Inspect the door latch hook on the oven front. Ensure it is not bent or obstructed by debris.
- Manual release: On many Electrolux models, you can access a manual door lock release from the top or rear after removing panels. Consult your user manual for the exact location.
- Inspect lock motor: With the rear panel removed, locate the door lock motor assembly. Check for broken plastic arms or linkages.
- Test lock switches: Use a multimeter to test the lock position switches for continuity when the lock is engaged and disengaged. Replace the lock assembly if switches are faulty or the motor does not run when commanded.
- Check wiring: Verify the harness from the lock assembly to the EOC is intact and firmly connected.
