Ilve Door Lock Mechanism Stuck

Oven door will not unlock after normal baking (no self-clean used)

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Lock latch misaligned, Weak lock spring, Control board not sending unlock signal, Thermal expansion causing latch bind

Safety: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely.

Wait and cool: Sometimes the latch will release as the oven cools. Do not force the door.
Power reset: Turn off power for 5 minutes, then restore. Try gently pulling on the door handle while toggling the lock/unlock function (if available).
Manual release: Access the lock mechanism from the top or rear and use a tool to move the latch to the unlocked position.
Adjust or replace: If the latch frequently sticks, adjust its position or replace the door lock assembly.
