Electrolux Range Error Code Convection Bake + Broil + Lock (LEDs 2,4,6)
Maximum lock attempts exceeded on motor door latch.
Maximum lock attempts 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. Check phase and lock switches.

What Convection Bake + Broil + Lock (LEDs 2,4,6) means on a Electrolux range
The Convection Bake + Broil + Lock LED combination (LEDs 2, 4, and 6) on an Electrolux range indicates that the door latch motor has exceeded its maximum number of locking attempts without successfully completing the lock cycle. This fault is tied directly to the self-cleaning system, which relies on a motorized latch mechanism to secure the oven door before and during a high-temperature clean cycle. When the control board sends the lock command and the latch motor fails to confirm a locked position within the allowed number of attempts, the board logs this fault and illuminates these three LEDs as a warning.
The latch mechanism includes both a motor and a set of switches, specifically the phase switch and the lock switch, that provide positional feedback to the electronic control board. If either of these switches is misaligned, faulty, or has failed to close, the board receives no confirmation that the latch has engaged, prompting repeated attempts until the maximum is reached. The motor itself may also be at fault if it is receiving proper voltage but not turning, which points to a mechanical failure or a burned-out motor winding.
Diagnosis centers on whether the latch motor is receiving voltage when the oven is set up for a clean cycle. If line-to-neutral voltage is present at the motor but the motor does not turn, the latch mechanism assembly requires replacement. If the voltage at the motor reads zero, the electronic control board is not sending the drive signal and the board itself is the likely failed component. The phase and lock switch conditions should also be inspected as part of a complete diagnostic.

Common causes of Convection Bake + Broil + Lock (LEDs 2,4,6)
- 01
Failed latch motor
Part replacementThe latch motor receives correct line-to-neutral voltage but does not turn, indicating a burned-out motor or internal mechanical failure. Replacing the latch mechanism assembly resolves this condition.
- 02
Faulty lock or phase switch
Part replacementThe lock switch or phase switch within the latch assembly may be misaligned or failed, preventing the control board from receiving a confirmation signal that the door has latched. Inspect both switches for continuity and proper positioning.
- 03
Failed electronic control board
Part replacementIf zero voltage is measured at the latch motor during a clean cycle setup, the control board is not sending the drive signal to the motor. This points to a failed output relay or circuit on the board, requiring board replacement.
- 04
Latch mechanism obstruction or misalignment
Wiring / connectionPhysical debris, grease buildup, or a bent latch hook can prevent the motor from completing its travel and engaging the lock position, causing repeated failed attempts. Inspect the latch assembly for obstructions before replacing components.
