      4. Problems with the Self-Clean Timer:

        • The self-clean timer might be malfunctioning, preventing the cycle from running its full course.

      5. Wiring Issues:

        • There might be a loose or damaged wire or connection within the oven.

      Troubleshooting Steps:

      1. Check the Door Lock Mechanism:

        • The door must be securely locked for the self-cleaning cycle to start.
        • Turn off the oven and unplug it from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker.
        • Inspect the door lock mechanism for any visible signs of damage or obstruction.
        • Manually engage and disengage the door lock to ensure it is functioning properly.
        • If the lock mechanism is faulty, it may need to be replaced.

      2. Test the Self-Clean Thermostat:

        • The self-clean thermostat monitors and regulates the temperature during the self-cleaning cycle.
        • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
        • Locate the thermostat, usually found at the back of the oven or inside the control panel.
        • Use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If it is faulty, replace it.

      3. Inspect the Control Board:

        • If the door lock and thermostat are functioning correctly, the control board might be the issue.
        • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
        • Access the control board, usually located behind the control panel or at the back of the oven.
        • Inspect the board for any visible signs of damage or burnt components.
        • Use a multimeter to test the control board for continuity. If it is faulty, consider having it repaired or replaced.

      4. Check the Self-Clean Timer:

        • The timer controls the duration of the self-cleaning cycle.
        • Ensure the timer is set correctly for the self-cleaning cycle.
        • If the timer is not functioning properly, it may need to be replaced.

      5. Inspect the Wiring and Connections:

        • Check the wiring connected to the door lock, thermostat, timer, and control board for any signs of damage or loose connections.
        • Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
        • Repair or replace any damaged wiring as necessary.

      Replacing Faulty Components:

      1. Replacing the Door Lock Mechanism:

        • Purchase a replacement door lock mechanism that matches your oven model.
        • Follow the manufacturer's instructions to replace the mechanism. Typically, this involves disconnecting the old mechanism and connecting the new one in its place.
        • Secure the new mechanism and reassemble the oven.
