Repair & Advice
Oven cleaning cycle completed but the lock did not release. Removed back panel of oven (turn off breaker!) and then removed chassis containing oven lock motor and 2 microswitches. Microswitches tested properly so I assumed it was the oven motor (also had no continuity). Motor only was not available so ordered this part- GRATEFUL TO FIND IT! Parts Dr site easily confirmed that it would fit my oven. MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER THE WIRE HOOKUP CONFIGURATIONS you had originally (microswitches have normally open NO and normally closed NC terminals) so when you reattach the wires you have the proper NC/NO configurations.....Otherwise, you will need to search for your unit's wiring diagram like I did!! Then run a test cycle. Good as new.
