How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Warning: Allow oven to cool fully before attempting to unlock. Disconnect power before mechanical work.
- Cool down: Wait until the oven is completely cool; some models will not unlock until a safe temperature is reached.
- Manual release: With power off and top panel removed, gently move the latch arm to the unlocked position. Do not force; if jammed, disassemble latch as needed.
- Inspect for damage: Check latch components for heat damage or warping. Replace the latch assembly if parts are deformed.
- Test operation: After replacement, test lock/unlock in a short clean cycle.
