Jenn Aire Oven Locking Mechanism

Jenn Aire Oven locking mechanism

I cannot get the locking mechanism to engage on my self-cleaning oven. The blower fan turns on and after about 30 seconds it shuts off. I have been able to use the self-clean feature before, but something has happened. This is a wall oven and is less than 5 years old. Thoughts?

It would have to be checked to see what the cause is. It could be a defective latch mechanism or defective latch switch(s) or defective controller depending on how your particular model (whichever that is) was designed.

You can read about the different types of door latching mechanisms that might be used at the link below.
