Possible Causes

Overheated door lock assembly, Failed lock motor, Faulty lock position switch, Control board sensing improper lock status during clean

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely before working on it.

  • After cooling, reset:
    • Restore power and press Cancel.
    • Attempt to start and then cancel a clean cycle to see if the lock cycles.
  • Inspect lock assembly:
    • Access the door lock mechanism from the top or rear.
    • Look for heat damage, melted plastic, or discolored wiring.
  • Test lock components:
    • Check motor resistance and switch continuity as the latch is moved.
    • Replace any failed components.
  • Control board check:
    • If the lock assembly is good, the EOC may be misreading lock status.
    • Inspect the control board for burnt traces or components.
  • Replace as needed:
    • Replace the door lock motor assembly if damaged.
    • If necessary, replace the electronic oven control (EOC).
