Possible Causes
Overheated safety thermostat tripped, faulty cavity overheat sensor, door lock not reaching unlocked position, control board stuck in lockout state
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the oven is completely cool before attempting any work. Disconnect from mains power.
- Allow extended cooling: Leave the oven door slightly open (if possible) and allow several hours for internal thermostats to reset.
- Check safety thermostats: Access the rear and top of the oven to locate manual-reset thermostats (small round devices with a reset button). Press the reset button if present.
- Inspect door lock: From the top/front, check that the lock mechanism is not jammed in the locked position. Manually move the lock lever if accessible to the unlocked position.
- Power reset: After ensuring thermostats are reset and the lock is free, restore power and see if the error clears.
- Replace faulty components: If a thermostat will not reset or tests open permanently, replace it. If the lock motor does not move during lock/unlock commands, replace the door lock assembly.
Note: Frequent pyrolytic cycles can stress thermostats and locks; ensure adequate ventilation around the oven installation.
