This assembly includes the motor that drives the oven door latch mechanism and the switches that confirm whether the door is locked or unlocked during the self-clean cycle. It mounts behind the front panel of the range near the top of the oven cavity. Replace this part if the oven door won't lock for self-cleaning, won't unlock after the cycle completes, or if you receive an error code related to the door lock.
