Possible Causes

Door not fully locked, faulty door lock switch, weak cooling fan, temperature sensor out of range at high temperatures, control board limiting cycle due to overheating

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the oven is empty and racks are removed before testing self-clean. Do not bypass safety devices.

  • Door lock check: Start a self-clean cycle and listen for the door lock motor. Verify that the door lock indicator shows locked. If not, inspect the door lock assembly and switches.
  • Cooling fan: Confirm that the cooling fan runs strongly during the early phase of self-clean.
  • Sensor performance: If the oven aborts after heating, the sensor may be reading incorrectly at high temperatures. Replace the oven temperature sensor if previously borderline.
  • Control limits: If all hardware is good, the main control may be prematurely terminating the cycle due to internal overheating; ensure proper ventilation and consider control replacement if persistent.

Note: Frequent use of self-clean can stress components; use only when necessary.
