When an oven door remains stubbornly locked and refuses to open after completing a high-heat self-cleaning cycle, it is almost always because the internal cavity temperature is still above the manufacturer's safety threshold—typically around 550 degrees Fahrenheit. Safety microswitches prevent the mechanical latch from opening while high heat is present to protect you from burns. You can troubleshoot door locks easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when waiting 30 to 60 minutes for the internal cooling fan to drop the temperature allows the control board to automatically disengage the mechanical latch, letting you open the door smoothly.
