How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is completely cool. Turn off power at the breaker.
- Wait for cool-down:
- Some locks will not release until the cavity temperature is low enough; wait at least 1–2 hours after self-clean.
- Manual release:
- Remove the top panel or rear panel (depending on model) to access the lock mechanism.
- Use the manual release lever or gently move the lock rod to unlock the door.
- Inspect and replace:
- Check the lock motor and linkage for damage.
- Replace the door lock motor assembly if it binds or fails to move when powered.
