Description

This is a range oven door lock motor. It is a small part that can be found near the upper portion of an oven door. The main function of a range oven door lock motor is to lock the oven when the unit is put into self-cleaning mode, preventing it from opening until the cycle is complete. This part will need to be replaced if it no longer locks properly, or is locking erratically during self-cleaning mode or even locking when it should not be locking at all. Running self-cleaning mode too often or for too long can overheat the door lock, causing it to break.When replacing this part, first ensure that the range is off by unplugging it from its power source. A nut driver set and a screwdriver will be helpful to ensure a swift repair. Protective gloves should be worn for safety during the replacement process. This motorized door lock is designed for a General Electric range oven. This product is also sold as a single unit. It is an authentic OEM replacement part, and it is also sourced directly from the manufacturer.
