I replaced the membrane switch but the light stayed on and now the oven doesnt get hot. Could it be the latch? It also wont self clean, says the door is open. please help

Answer Lorraine,
You will want to make sure that the door is closing all the way. Check to make sure that the connection for the membrane switch is a firm connection. You will also want to check when you put the unit into bake or broil that you are getting 240 vac across the L1 to Bake or L1 to broil when in broil. If you are then your control board would be the issue and need to be replaced.
Hey, I put my oven on self clean mode and noticed a rack I went to open the door and I was able to open my oven door. Now the latch is engaged and the door wont completely close. I tried to reset the self clean but it tells me to close the door. What can I do?

Answer Caryn,
You may want to try to push in on the door light switch and see if you can get the door latch to open. If not then you will want to have someone help you by holding the door switch and pulling out a little on the latch and try to reset. If this does not work then you may need a new motor latch motor.
Hi,
Our upper door latched shut during a clean cycle and will not open. Fault codes are F5 E7. How do I open the door to find model number and/or to service the oven?
thanks,
Erik

Answer Hello Erik. You will need to use an ice pick and reach into the grill and hold the latch back as you open the door to get the model number. Then we can look up the error code for you. Thanks.
I bought this part from yall this part is a MFG direct replace, for the original how do I install this, it looks very different. Door latch part AP4429328. Also this is a very tight fit does not look anything like the old one.

Answer Hello Penny,
As per the manufacturer, this is the correct substitution. The solenoid on the old one has been replaced with a motor to prevent premature failure since the solenoid cannot withstand the temperatures that the motor can. The wires to the switches can be just carried over and since the switches are not polarized, the wires on them can be crossed with no negative results. The motor and the solenoid are polarized, so when the wires are transferred from the solenoid to the motor, pay strict attention to positive (+) and negative (-). This circuit is 18Vdc so if not wired in the correct polarity, it will not work.
Is the light switch incorporated into the doorlatch?

Answer Hello Claude. Yes, the switch is made into the latch assembly W10195934.
Went to clean oven. The door latch locked with the oven door open. I have read the manual and have tried to release the latching so that I can close the door and use the oven or to clean. It goes through the LOC lock and the UNLOC but will not release. Do I need a new door latch or new cicuit board?
Thanks Wayne

Answer Wayne, It sounds like you may not need anything, other than a screwdriver. Try this : Press in on the black "plastic" actuator lever. Take the blade of the screwdriver and press against the chrome metal door latch hook. You'll need to press against the lever the complete cycle, have a helper program a self clean cycle, wait 60 seconds then cancel the cycle ansd allow the latch to cycle back to the unlocked position.If the issue remains, then replace the latch assembly W10195934 and check the wiring to the switches. Thanks and Good Luck
