Parts for Ge JB640DIR6WW: 05 - Door Lock Parts

This latch and handle is the manual oven door-lock lever. It engages the door-latch mechanism for self-clean cycles and restores smooth locking and unlocking when the original lever is broken, loose, or seized.

• Operates the door-lock mechanism via the front-panel lever
• Secures the oven door during self-clean to prevent opening
• Enables self-clean cycles that require a locked door
• Typical symptoms: lever broken/loose, door won't lock or unlock, self-clean won't start

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access is typically through the control panel/console; note linkage and spring orientation before removal
• Transfer any reusable hardware from the original part; avoid bending the latch rod
• After reassembly, verify smooth lever travel and proper door locking before running self-clean
