Self-clean won't start or door won't lock

The control will not heat for self-clean until the lock switch confirms the door is locked. Check that the door closes fully, then whether the lock motor moves at all: no movement points to the motor or the control output; movement without confirmation points to the switch, latch binding or wiring.

Oven door lock motor and lock switches (self-clean)

Self-clean ovens use a small motor or solenoid with cam switches that tell the control the lock position. A lock stuck after self-clean is often a cooled-down timing issue; check the motor, the switches and the control output.

Oven door stuck locked after self-clean

The lock stays engaged until the cavity cools (most models release below about 550°F). If it stays locked when cold, the lock motor, its position switch or the control is at fault. Dead ovens after self-clean often have an open thermal fuse.
