Possible Causes

Failed door lock switch, Misaligned door latch, Broken wiring to the door lock assembly.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing the door lock mechanism.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the oven door closes fully and the latch engages properly. A bent latch can prevent the switch from closing.
  • Inspect lock assembly: Remove the top panel or front trim (depending on the model) to access the door lock motor and switch assembly.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the door lock switch when the lock is engaged. No continuity indicates a faulty switch.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the wiring harness from the lock assembly to the control board for breaks or loose connectors.
  • Replace lock assembly: If the switch or motor is defective, replace the complete door lock assembly for improved reliability.
