Description

This latch actuator links the door lock mechanism on select ranges and wall ovens, engaging and releasing the door as designed. Replacing a worn or bent actuator restores smooth latch movement and reliable door locking during normal use and self-clean cycles. What it does:

• Transfers motion within the latch assembly to lock and unlock the oven door
• Helps the door lock engage for self-clean and release when complete
• Addresses issues like a door that won't lock/unlock or latch fully
• Can resolve incomplete self-clean cycles caused by a misaligned or damaged latch linkage

What's included:

• 1 latch actuator

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch assembly per your model's service/parts diagram
• Note the actuator's orientation and any linkage/spring positions before removal
• Verify smooth manual latch operation before reassembling and restoring power
