Samsung oven door is locked

As a safety precaution, your Samsung range's door will lock when the oven gets too hot. This is to prevent any possible injuries. If your oven is cool, then you may have Child Lock turned on or need to power cycle the range to unlock the door.

Samsung oven door is locked

1

Allow the oven to cool down.

When the range is too hot, the door will lock.
2

Power on the range.

On some models, the door will also lock when the range is powered off. Simply turning it on and waiting a moment may disengage the lock.
3

Check if any of the buttons work.

If the range powers on, but none of the buttons seem to work, then the door may be locked along with the panel. See our guide for more information.
4

Power cycle the range at the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, and then power it back on.

If the door is still locked, a power cycle may unlock it.
5

Request service.

If the door remains locked after the previous steps, visit our Support Center to request service.
