Maggie D for Model Number kgss907sss000 I replaced the motorized door latch. It broke again. I do not want to replace it again as I will clean the oven manually. A piece of the plastic that controls the oven lights broke off and the oven lights remain on. Is that the reason the oven won't heat or is it the thermal fuse or maybe both? Can I just disconnect the two wires that connect to the part of the door latch that controls the lights and tape them. will the oven work then and would it be safe. Thanks
Answer Maggie, Your best and safest bet, is to replace the latch motor assembly again. We really don't reccomend you operate your range with wires taped together on a permanent basis. But you're on the right track. The door light switch/position switch, would keep the oven from heating and cause the lights to remain on, if there was a fault in the switch or wiring.
