How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the lock mechanism. Beware of sharp metal edges.
- Check for obstruction: Ensure nothing is blocking the door from closing fully. Try gently pushing on the door while starting self-clean to see if the lock engages.
- Access lock assembly: Remove the top panel or rear panel (depending on model) to reach the door lock motor and latch.
- Visual inspection: Look for bent linkage, broken plastic parts, or signs of overheating on the lock motor.
- Electrical tests: With power off, test continuity of the lock motor and its limit switches. Replace the lock assembly if open or mechanically jammed.
- Wiring: Check the harness from the lock to the EOC for breaks or loose connectors. Repair as needed.
