Possible Causes
Misaligned door latch, Failed door lock switch, Broken door lock motor, Bent door hinge preventing full closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting hinges or accessing the lock assembly.
- Check door closure: Ensure the oven door closes fully and evenly. Look for obstructions or warped gasket preventing a tight seal.
- Inspect latch: Observe the latch while slowly closing the door. It should engage smoothly. If bent, carefully straighten or replace the door latch.
- Test lock switch: Access the door lock assembly from the top or rear. Use a multimeter to test the door lock switch for continuity when the latch is engaged. Replace the door lock assembly if the switch fails.
- Hinge adjustment: Replace worn or bent oven door hinges if the door sags and does not engage the latch properly.
