Ge Profile Oven Door Wont Lock For Self Clean

General electric profile ranges come with a self cleaning oven.

Ge profile oven door wont lock for self clean. At the front of the oven where the locking mechanism sits will be a panel that needs to be removed. Press the clean pad wait 10 seconds. Most electronic control ovens will display a fault code to indicate that the sensor has failed. If you suspect that the sensor is at fault you should first remove the power to the oven for a few moments and then reconnect.

With your 4 in 1 screwdriver select the correct screwdriver bit and unscrew the screws in a counterclockwise rotation. Occasionally an error may occur that misguides the range in believing the oven door is locked. Wait approximately 30 minutes for the oven to cool and try to unlock the door. We typically see an issue where the door won t unlock when a user has attempted a self clean cycle on their oven especially when the self clean feature is canceled before it is complete.

If the oven lock activates while something bakes press clear off and wait for the oven to cool completely. When all else fails. When the error occurs the control panel s display screen will read locked and blink. If the lock is in the closed position and the door is open then we need to fool the unit that the door is closed open the oven door all the way and with one hand hold the door switch on the oven door opening in then with the other hand start a self clean cycle wait about 1 minute after the start then cancel the self clean cycle wait until the lock mechanism retreats completely before removing your hand from the door switch mechanism.

Door will not unlock after self cleaning. Try the following to unlock the door. Wipe down all of the mechanical parts with kitchen spray cleaner and a damp cloth to remove any grease and gunk that has. Remove the screws and the panel.

Some models of the ge profile range have a motorized oven door lock while others have a manual lock. In order to diagnose if the lock motor is getting voltage after setting and starting a clean cycle will require a voltage meter. Expose the locking mechanism. If the door will not unlock at the end of the clean cycle then you may have a problem with the oven temperature sensor.

While you hold the door jamb switch in this position complete the following steps. Fix the error yourself without calling a repair technician. Hold the oven door tightly closed and try to slide the lock back and forth. Disconnect power to range for 30 seconds.

Push it in until the oven cavity light goes off indicating that the oven believes the door is closed. Reconnect power and see if door will unlatch. The door should unlock. When the cycle initiates press the clear off or cancel pad immediately to cancel it.

If the door does not lock it could have a faulty electronic oven control or a faulty door lock motor assembly. We generally recommend not using the self cleaning feature for oven maintenance because it is known to frequently cause problems regardless of the model.
