Caloric Range Error Code DOOR

The DOOR error code means the control board sent a signal to lock the oven door but did not receive confirmation that the door actually reached the locked position within 20 seconds. This typically surfaces when starting a self-clean cycle. The fault points to the door latch assembly, its switches, the lock motor, or the wiring connecting those components to the control board.

Standard baking and cooktop functions may still operate, but you should not attempt to run a self-clean cycle while the DOOR error is present. The door lock system is a safety interlock for the high-temperature cleaning mode, and bypassing or ignoring a lock failure during self-clean creates a burn and fire hazard. Address the fault before using the self-clean feature.

Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. A door latch assembly with integrated switches typically costs between 40 and 120 dollars for the part alone. If a technician is needed for diagnosis and installation, total repair costs including labor commonly range from 100 to 300 dollars. A control board replacement, if required, will fall at the higher end of that range or above depending on the specific model.

A knowledgeable DIYer can diagnose this error by inspecting the door latch switches for continuity using a multimeter and checking the wiring harness for visible damage or loose connectors. If the latch switches test open when they should be closed, replacing the latch assembly is a manageable repair. However, if the control board is suspected, professional diagnosis is recommended to avoid replacing an expensive part unnecessarily.

Cycling power to the range may temporarily clear the error from the display, but the code will return as soon as the control board attempts to lock the door again and the underlying fault is still present. A reset does not repair faulty switches, a stalled motor, or damaged wiring. Clearing the code without fixing the root cause only delays proper diagnosis.
