KitchenAid Door Lock Mechanism Stuck

Oven door will not open after self-clean cycle; no error code displayed.

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

Latch motor jammed, latch rod misaligned, high-temperature distortion, latch switch not resetting

Warning: Surfaces may still be hot after self-clean. Allow full cooling before attempting to open.

Wait and power reset: Allow several hours for cooling. Turn power off at the breaker for 1 minute, then back on to see if the latch resets.
Manual release: With power off, remove the top panel and gently move the latch arm to the unlocked position.
Inspect latch: If the latch binds or is deformed, replace the latch assembly.
