Possible Causes

Failed door lock motor assembly, Broken or jammed lock mechanism, Faulty door lock switch, Wiring issue between lock and control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker. Ensure the oven is cool before working near the door lock.

  • Check for mechanical jam:
    • Inspect the door latch area for bent metal, debris, or misalignment.
    • Gently move the latch with a screwdriver (with power off) to see if it is stuck.
  • Access lock motor:
    • Remove the rear panel or top panel (depending on model) to access the door lock motor assembly.
    • Inspect the lock motor, linkage, and switches.
  • Test lock motor and switches:
    • With a multimeter, check continuity of the lock motor coil and the lock/unlock switches according to the wiring diagram.
    • If the motor is open or the switches do not change state when actuated, replace the door lock motor assembly.
  • Inspect wiring:
    • Check harness from lock assembly to EOC for damage or loose connectors.
  • Control board:
    • If the lock assembly tests good and wiring is intact, the EOC may not be driving the lock; replace the electronic oven control board.

Note: To manually unlock a stuck door, consult the service manual for your specific Frigidaire Professional model; many have a manual release accessible from the top or rear.
