Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door will not open after a self-cleaning cycle
• Door will not close or latch correctly
• Latch movement is slow, incomplete, or stuck
• Self-cleaning cycle may not proceed if the lock position is not detected

Check Before Replacing

• With power disconnected and the oven fully cool, visually inspect the latch hook and door channel for obstruction, bent parts, or misalignment.
• Check that the oven door closes fully and is not being held away from the frame by debris or a damaged hinge.
• Observe whether the latch motor attempts to move when a self-clean cycle is initiated, without touching moving parts.
• If the door remains locked after cooling, disconnect power and follow the appliance-specific service information rather than forcing the door open.
• Confirm the appliance model before replacing the assembly; symptoms can also result from the door switch, control, wiring, or mechanical alignment.
