Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Ensure the oven is cool before working on the door lock.
- Check door movement: Open and close the door to feel for mechanical binding. Inspect the latch strike on the cabinet for misalignment or damage.
- Access lock assembly: Remove the top panel or front control panel (depending on model) to access the door lock motor and switches.
- Inspect linkage: Look for bent rods, broken plastic parts, or grease buildup preventing movement. Clean and lubricate lightly with high-temperature-safe lubricant if needed.
- Test lock motor: With a multimeter, check the motor coil for continuity. An open circuit indicates a failed motor; replace the door lock assembly.
- Check lock switches: Verify that the lock position switches change state when the latch is moved manually. Replace the switch or entire lock assembly if faulty.
Warning: Never force the door open during a self-clean cycle; wait until the oven has cooled and the lock has released or been manually overridden according to service instructions.
