Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Door Latch Assembly (Self-Clean Lock) by Ge

This oven door latch assembly secures the door during the self-clean cycle and reports lock status to the control. Replace a worn or failed latch to restore safe locking and reliable self-clean operation.

• Locks the oven door during self-clean to prevent opening at high temperatures
• Signals the control when the door is locked or unlocked
• Helps the oven start and complete a self-clean cycle safely
• Typical symptoms: self-clean won't start or finish, door won't lock/unlock, lock motor runs continuously or is noisy, lock indicator stays on

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before servicing
• Access is typically from the top or behind the control panel; remove panels as required and note linkage/switch orientation
• Transfer any linkages or mounting hardware from the original latch in the same orientation
• Manually cycle the latch to verify smooth operation before restoring power and testing self-clean
