Whirlpool Oven Door Hinge Locked

Saturday from 8 a m.

Whirlpool oven door hinge locked.

If no food or utensils are in the oven start a self clean cycle then hit clear off after 60 seconds. The door will also lock during the self cleaning cycle and won t unlatch until the temperature inside the oven cools to about 200 degrees fahrenheit. When removing my oven door i flipped up the hinge lock and removed the door just like in the videos i watched. I have the oven door.

The oven door has been locked accidentally. Close the door back up until it reaches the broil stop position which is only about 1 4 of the way open. When putting the door back with the hinge locked at right angle the door will be in close position. When i removed the screws holding door together the hinge lock was flipped closed and i am unable to flip it open and unlock the spring loaded hinge.

If that does not unlock the door run a short self clean cycle 1 2 hours. When i tried to put the oven door back in place and the safety latch is stuck in place. The trouble is the locked hinge is already at right angle to the door and cannot be rotated out because is is locked. If there is food in the oven let the oven cool to room temperature and try to unlatch the door.

I have a whirlpool gmc275prq oven micro. It was damaged by the force of the spring so i ordered a new one. Thank you for your inquiry. If your oven door does not have hinge latches to unlock simply open to the broil stop position and carefully pull the door up and away from the oven.
