OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM

OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM

The oven door lock system uses a solenoid-activated, push-push mechanism. The oven door will lock as soon as it is closed and the CLEAN function is programmed into the Electronic Oven Control (EOC). When the solenoid is activated, the plunger extends, and the actuator rod moves the latch to lock the door.

After the CLEAN cycle is completed and the temperature inside the oven cavity falls below 500˚F, the latch solenoid relay closes and activates the door lock solenoid. The solenoid plunger retracts, and actuator rod pulls the latch and unlocks the oven door.
