Electrolux Range Error Code Bake + Convection Bake + Lock (LEDs 1,2,6)

Maximum unlock time exceeded on motor door latch.

Maximum unlock time exceeded on motor door latch.

First step from the service manual

Set the oven up for a clean cycle. Check if the latch motor turns. If no, check voltage applied to latch motor. If line to neutral, replace latch mechanism. If zero, replace electronic control board. If motor turns, check phase switch and lock switch.

What Bake + Convection Bake + Lock (LEDs 1,2,6) means on a Electrolux range

The Bake + Convection Bake + Lock LED combination (LEDs 1, 2, and 6) on an Electrolux range indicates that the maximum allowable time for the oven door latch to complete its unlock cycle has been exceeded. This fault is tied directly to the motor-driven door latch mechanism, which is responsible for physically securing and releasing the oven door during self-clean cycles. When the control board commands the latch motor to unlock and that motor fails to complete the movement within the expected time window, the board logs this error and halts normal operation.

The latch system involves several interconnected components: the latch motor itself, a phase switch, and a lock switch. The phase switch signals the control board about the motor's rotational position, while the lock switch confirms whether the latch has reached its fully locked or unlocked state. If either switch provides incorrect feedback, the board may never receive confirmation that the unlock action completed, triggering the timeout error even if the motor is functioning.

Diagnosing this fault requires initiating a clean cycle to activate the latch system and then observing whether the latch motor turns. If the motor does not turn, voltage at the motor terminals must be checked. Line-to-neutral voltage present at the motor with no movement points to a failed latch mechanism requiring replacement. Zero voltage at the motor terminals points to the electronic control board failing to deliver the command signal, requiring board replacement. If the motor does turn but the error still appears, attention shifts to the phase switch and lock switch as the likely source of the fault.

Common causes of Bake + Convection Bake + Lock (LEDs 1,2,6)

  1. 01

    Failed latch motor

    Part replacement

    The latch motor may have burned out or seized, preventing it from turning when commanded. If line-to-neutral voltage is confirmed at the motor terminals but the motor does not move, the latch mechanism assembly needs to be replaced.

  2. 02

    Faulty lock switch or phase switch

    Part replacement

    If the latch motor turns but the error persists, the phase switch or lock switch is likely not sending accurate position feedback to the control board. The board cannot confirm unlock completion and times out as a result.

  3. 03

    Electronic control board not outputting voltage

    Part replacement

    If zero voltage is measured at the latch motor terminals during a clean cycle, the control board is failing to send the drive signal to the motor. In this case, the control board requires replacement.

  4. 04

    Wiring or connector issue to the latch motor

    Wiring / connection

    Loose, corroded, or broken wiring between the control board and the latch motor can interrupt the voltage supply or feedback signals. Inspect all connectors in the latch circuit before replacing major components.

Frequently asked questions about Bake + Convection Bake + Lock (LEDs 1,2,6)

What does Bake + Convection Bake + Lock (LEDs 1,2,6) mean on a Electrolux range?
This LED combination indicates that the oven's motor-driven door latch has exceeded the maximum allowed time to complete its unlock cycle. The control board expected the latch to reach the unlocked position within a set window and never received confirmation that it did. The fault points to the latch motor, the position switches within the latch assembly, or the electronic control board as the source of the problem.
Can I fix this error myself or do I need a technician?
Some parts of the diagnosis, such as checking for loose wiring connections, are within reach for a knowledgeable DIYer. However, testing voltage at the latch motor and evaluating the phase and lock switches requires a multimeter and comfort working around live appliance circuits. Replacing the control board or latch assembly is a moderate repair, but if you are uncertain about working with electrical components, a qualified technician is the safer option.
Is it safe to use the oven while this error is active?
It is not recommended to use the oven for baking or broiling while this fault is present. If the door latch is in an uncertain position, the oven door may not seal or lock correctly during a self-clean cycle, which operates at very high temperatures. Resolve the latch fault before running any oven cycle.
Will resetting the oven clear this error code?
A power reset may temporarily clear the displayed error, but the fault will return if the underlying mechanical or electrical problem is not fixed. The latch motor, switches, or control board must be inspected and repaired to prevent the error from reappearing when a clean cycle is initiated.
How much does it cost to repair this error on an Electrolux range?
Repair costs vary depending on which component is at fault. A latch mechanism assembly typically costs in the range of $50 to $150 for parts, while an electronic control board can range from $100 to $300 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor generally brings the total repair cost to between $150 and $500, depending on your location and the specific parts required.
