Safety first: Isolate the cooker from the mains.

Do not force door: Forcing the door can bend hinges and damage the seal.
Cool down: Ensure the oven is fully cool; some locks remain engaged while hot.
Reset: Restore power and attempt to start and cancel a lock cycle to re‑index the lock.
Professional service: A Hoover technician should access the lock assembly, test the position switches with a multimeter, adjust the latch, or replace the door lock assembly if defective.
