The Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for Frigidaire ranges. This locking system safely secures oven doors during cleaning or self-clean cycles through the electromagnetic operation. 

Symptoms of a defective assembly include: 

• Failure to engage or release the door lock function
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises from internal mechanisms  
• Error codes related to door lock detection problems

Causes relate to wear from continual operation of locking solenoids over extended use. Exposure to cooking residues and cleaning chemicals can deteriorate switches. 

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with some Kenmore and GE appliance brands. Replacing worn components restores reliable door locking to automatically secure during high-heat cycles. Timely maintenance preserves safety functionality.

• 1 strike

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Open the door/lid and remove the mounting screws securing the old strike; retain hardware if it is reused
• Position the new strike in the same orientation and tighten screws snugly; avoid over-tightening to prevent damage
• Close and open the door/lid to confirm smooth latch engagement, then run a brief test cycle
