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.
