Possible Causes
Obstructed door latch, Failed door lock motor, Misaligned door strike, Wiring issue to lock assembly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and ensure the oven is cool.
- Inspect door strike: Check the metal strike on the oven frame for bending or looseness. Tighten or replace if damaged.
- Check for obstructions: Look for debris or buildup around the latch area that could prevent full movement. Clean thoroughly.
- Access lock motor: Remove the top or rear panel to access the lock motor assembly. Inspect for broken parts or seized mechanism.
- Test motor: With a multimeter, check motor winding resistance. An open winding indicates a bad motor; replace the lock assembly.
- Verify wiring: Ensure connectors are fully seated and wires are not pinched.
