The self-clean cycle deliberately locks the door at high heat. If it stays locked afterward, try this.
Let It Cool Completely
The latch will not release until the cavity drops below a safe temperature.
Fix: Wait 60–90 minutes after the cycle ends before expecting the door to unlock.
Cycle the Power
A brief power-off often resets a stuck latch motor.
Fix: Switch off the oven at the breaker for a minute, then restore power.
Check the Latch Motor
If it never releases, the latch motor or switch may have failed.
Fix: A technician can free and replace the latch assembly.
