General Electric Range Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

This latch and handle assembly operates the manual oven door lock on select ranges. Replacing a worn or broken lever restores positive door locking so the self-clean cycle can run safely and the door stays secure.

• Locks and unlocks the oven door via the front-panel lever and latch mechanism
• Secures the door during high-temperature self-cleaning operation
• Symptoms include a loose or broken lever, door not latching or unlocking, or self-clean cycle not starting
• Restores smooth lever action and proper door engagement

• Disconnect power before service; for gas ranges, also shut off the gas supply
• Allow the appliance to cool; use gloves and caution around sharp metal edges
• Access is typically from the control panel/top area; note linkage orientation and transfer existing fasteners
• The latch moves freely and the door locks/unlocks correctly before restoring power

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

This latch assembly secures and releases the oven door as designed, including during self-clean on many models. Replacing a worn latch restores proper door engagement so cycles start reliably and the door locks when required.

The Latch Ovn is an OEM part for GE ranges. It functions as the latch mechanism that secures the oven door in the closed position during cooking.

The latch oven is responsible for safely and securely holding the oven door shut while in use. It allows for controlled opening and closing of the door to facilitate easy access inside the oven cavity.

Causes of a bad latch oven can include wear and tear over time, failure of mechanical components within the latch mechanism, or damage from overtightening or forced opening/closing of the oven door.

Symptoms of a bad latch oven include:

• The oven door not latching fully or securely in the closed position
• Difficulty opening or closing the oven door
• The door popping or springing open unexpectedly

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This maintop strike is the small latch plate the cooktop engages with to stay secured and aligned. Replacing a bent or missing strike restores a snug-fitting main top and proper engagement with the latch mechanism.

• Provides the engagement point for the main top's latch mechanism
• Helps keep the cooktop seated and aligned to reduce movement and rattling
• Can correct issues like the top not staying down or visible gaps at the front edge
• Supports proper actuation of any associated latch/safety switch, when applicable

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Open/raise the cooktop per the unit's design and support it safely
• Remove the old strike and align the new strike in the same position; reuse existing mounting hardware if applicable
• Tighten fasteners securely and test latch engagement before restoring power

This latch assembly secures the appliance door and helps ensure proper closing and operation. It replaces a worn or broken door latch so the door stays closed and the appliance can run as intended. What it does:
