Possible Causes

Overheated or jammed door lock motor, Warped door or latch from high heat, Faulty door lock switch not signaling control, Control board not sending unlock signal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool completely; the door will not unlock while the cavity is hot. Disconnect power before attempting manual release.

  • Wait for cooling: It may take several hours after self-clean for the lock to release.
  • Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and see if the lock cycles.
  • Manual release: Consult your Midea manual; many models have a manual release lever accessible from behind the control panel or through the rear panel.

If the lock remains stuck, the door lock motor assembly or switch is likely faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
