The lower oven door locked with an F9 error code after normal use, not a cleaning cycle. I have found the latch switch and wiggled it so it returned to the unlocked position. It seems to want to stick mechanically in the locked position unless it is wiggled just right. It also has been cooking too fast.
What is the reason for the oven door lock? If it is only for self-cleaning I'd rather just disable it entirely. How can I disable it so the oven will still function? If I must repair or replace it, how do I figure out what went wrong? Might it just need WD-40?
Thanks, Ricker

The problem can be a bad door lock switches as well as a bad oven control board. You may want to check the switches, the door lock motor and their wires first. If there is nothing wrong, replace the control board.

I found the latch assembly. Where/how do I find the control board?

Thanks. $$$$$!! I jammed the motor sensor in the open position. Cheaper. I don't use the self-clean function anyway.
