Oven Not Self Cleaning
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly
The door lock switch activates the door lock motor to prevent the oven door from being opened during its cleaning cycle. If the door lock motor and switch assembly is defective, the oven door will not unlock once the self-cleaning cycle is complete. On most ovens, you can open the oven door by removing certain screws or panels. Check your owner's manual for further instructions.
Temperature Control Thermostat
The oven thermostat sends voltage to the heating circuit and regulates the temperature of the oven during the self-cleaning cycle. It is possible for the oven thermostat to function properly for baking and broiling but not for cleaning. The oven thermostat is difficult to test. If you suspect the oven thermostat is at fault, replace it.
Thermal Fuse
If the oven gets too hot, the thermal fuse will engage and send a signal to turn off power to the oven. If the thermal fuse has blown, the oven will not heat. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, then this will need to be replaced.
Door Switch
A defective door switch may prevent the oven door from locking. The door switch is often part of the circuit that causes the oven door to lock during the self-cleaning cycle. Self cleaning cycle will not start if the oven door is unable to lock. If the door switch does not have continuity, replace it.
