LG Door lock stuck engaged

LG 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

Overheated lock mechanism, Warped latch, Failed lock motor, Control not sending unlock signal

Safety first: Do not force the door open. Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely.

Wait for cooling: The lock will not release until the oven is below a safe temperature. Wait several hours.
Manual release: With power off, remove the rear top panel and manually move the lock arm to unlock the door.
Inspect lock: Check for melted or warped parts. Replace the door lock assembly if damaged.
Test operation: After replacement, test a lock/unlock cycle (without self-clean) to confirm proper operation.
