Oven door will not unlock after self-clean cycle completes.

Safety first: The oven may still be very hot after self-clean. Allow several hours for cooling before attempting to force the door.

• Wait and cool: Ensure the oven has fully cooled. Some models will not unlock until the sensor reads a safe temperature.
• Power reset: Turn off power at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes the lock will reset and unlock.
• Manual release (advanced): Consult the service manual for the location of the manual door lock release. This often involves removing the top panel and moving the lock lever by hand.
• Inspect lock assembly: Once the door is open and the unit is cool, inspect the lock mechanism for warping, melted parts, or misalignment.

Replace the door lock assembly if it binds or fails to move freely. If the lock is mechanically sound but does not operate, the lock motor or control board may be defective.
