Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Oven door will not lock during self-cleaning.
• Oven door remains locked or will not unlock after the cycle.
• Door-lock status is not recognized by the control.
• Latch motor clicks or runs without moving the latch.
• Door-lock-related error or mismatch indication may appear.

Check Before Replacing

• With the range cool and power disconnected, visually inspect the latch hook, actuating mechanism, door slot, wiring, and connectors for obvious damage or misalignment.
• Confirm that the door closes fully and that the latch mechanism is not visibly obstructed or mechanically binding.
• If the appliance service documentation provides a diagnostic latch test, observe whether the motor moves between locked and unlocked positions and whether the latch-switch status changes accordingly.
• Only if qualified and using the appliance service documentation, test the integrated latch microswitch for continuity with power disconnected; do not use continuity testing on an energized appliance.
• If the motor does not operate, inspect the harness and connectors before concluding that the latch assembly is defective.
