When an oven door latch mechanism—particularly on self-cleaning range models—gets stuck in the open or locked position, it is usually caused by a misaligned motorized latch assembly, a jammed microswitch, or a software error loop. To fix this, first perform a hard power reset by turning off the circuit breaker for two minutes to reboot the control board. If the motor is mechanically jammed, you must remove the outer control console panel to manually rotate the latch drive motor gear back into alignment. You can troubleshoot latch jams safely. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when clearing the mechanical obstruction or resetting power allows the latch arm to move freely and operate correctly.
