Possible Causes
Failed self-clean lock motor, Jammed lock mechanism, Faulty lock position switch, Control board not driving lock motor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is cool before attempting to release the door. Turn off power at the breaker.
- Wait for cooling: If the cycle just ended, wait until the oven is completely cool; some models delay unlocking until safe.
- Manual unlock: Access the lock assembly from the top or rear of the range. Use the manual release lever (if provided) to unlock the door.
- Inspect mechanism: Check the lock arm and linkage for binding, bent parts, or grease buildup. Clean and lubricate lightly if necessary.
- Test switches: Verify that the lock position switch changes state when the lock moves. Replace the lock assembly if the switch is faulty.
- Control output: If the motor never receives power during a lock/unlock command (qualified persons only), the control board may be defective.
