Possible Causes

Warped door seal, misaligned latch, swollen door liner from heat, faulty door catch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely before attempting to force the door.

  • Wait for cooling: As the oven cools, metal parts contract, and the door may release naturally.
  • Gentle pressure: Apply gentle inward pressure to the door while operating the handle to relieve pressure on the latch.
  • Inspect seal and latch: Once open, inspect the gasket and latch for damage or misalignment and replace them as needed.

If the door remains stuck, internal panels may need to be removed to access and release the latch from inside; this procedure is best performed by a qualified technician.
