The WS01F08625 is a genuine OEM oven door latch assembly for GE ranges. This critical safety component locks the oven door during the self-cleaning cycle and ensures proper door closure during normal operation. The latch mechanism engages when the self-clean cycle starts, preventing the door from opening while temperatures reach 800-900°F. Manufactured with heat-resistant materials and precision-engineered components for reliable performance.
Manufactured to GE's exact OEM specifications, this door latch assembly features a motorized latch mechanism that extends to lock the door, heat-resistant construction designed to withstand extreme self-clean temperatures, integrated safety switch that prevents oven operation if latch fails, and durable metal components for long-lasting performance. The assembly is designed to engage smoothly and hold securely throughout the self-clean cycle. Built with thermal protection and designed for proper door seal. Typical lifespan is 8–15 years; failures are most often due to motor wear, thermal stress, or mechanical binding.
This door latch fixes ranges where the oven door won't lock during self-clean cycle, you hear clicking or grinding when trying to start self-clean, the oven displays a door lock error code, the door won't unlock after self-clean cycle completes, the latch is stuck in the locked or unlocked position, or the oven won't start self-clean cycle. When the latch fails, you cannot use the self-clean function and may have safety concerns with door closure.
Direct replacement for 222D4685G005. Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore ranges with self-cleaning ovens. Installation requires basic hand tools and takes 30–45 minutes. CRITICAL: Always disconnect power before servicing. Access requires removing the oven door and front panel. The latch assembly mounts to the door frame with electrical connections to the control board. Verify proper operation and test lock/unlock function after installation.
IMPORTANT: Only use genuine OEM door latches for proper operation, safety compliance, and warranty protection. Aftermarket latches may have incorrect motor timing causing lock failures, use inferior materials that fail under high heat, lack proper safety switches creating hazards, or have incompatible mounting that causes binding. OEM latches are tested to GE's safety standards and designed specifically for your range's self-clean temperatures and door configuration, ensuring reliable, safe operation.
