Possible Causes
Overheated or jammed lock motor, Warped latch from high heat, Failed lock switch feedback to EOC
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely. Do not force the door open.
- Wait for cool-down: Some models will not unlock until the sensor reads a safe temperature. After full cool-down, restore power and see if the lock releases.
- Manual release: Remove the top panel or rear panel to access the latch. Manually move the latch arm to unlock the door.
- Inspect lock assembly: Look for heat damage or binding. Replace the lock assembly if it is warped or the motor is inoperative.
- Check lock switch: Test the lock switch for proper operation with a multimeter. Replace if it does not change state when the latch moves.
