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)

  1. 01

    Failed latch motor

    Part replacement

    The 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.

  2. 02

    Faulty lock or phase switch

    Part replacement

    The 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.

  3. 03

    Failed electronic control board

    Part replacement

    If 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.

  4. 04

    Latch mechanism obstruction or misalignment

    Wiring / connection

    Physical 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.

Frequently asked questions about Convection Bake + Broil + Lock (LEDs 2,4,6)

What does Convection Bake + Broil + Lock (LEDs 2,4,6) mean on a Electrolux range?
This LED combination indicates that the oven's door latch motor has exceeded the maximum number of allowed locking attempts without successfully securing the door. The fault is triggered during or before a self-cleaning cycle when the control board cannot confirm that the latch has engaged. It typically points to a problem with the latch motor, the lock or phase switch, or the electronic control board.
Can I fix this error myself or do I need a technician?
A knowledgeable DIYer can perform the basic voltage test at the latch motor by setting the oven up for a clean cycle and checking whether line-to-neutral voltage is present. If voltage is present but the motor does not turn, the latch mechanism needs replacement. If no voltage is present, the control board requires replacement. Both repairs involve working near live voltage, so comfort with electrical safety procedures is essential before attempting them.
Is it safe to use the oven while this error is active?
Normal baking and broiling functions may still operate, but the self-cleaning cycle cannot safely run while this fault is present because the door cannot be confirmed as locked. It is best to avoid initiating a clean cycle until the latch issue is diagnosed and repaired. Continuing to attempt clean cycles with a faulty latch could cause additional faults or damage to the control board.
Will resetting the oven clear this error code?
Cycling power to the range may temporarily clear the displayed fault, but the error will return as soon as the oven attempts another clean cycle and the latch motor again fails to confirm a locked position. The underlying mechanical or electrical fault in the latch system must be repaired for the error to be permanently resolved.
How much does it cost to repair this error on an Electrolux range?
Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. A replacement latch mechanism assembly typically runs in the range of $50 to $150 for the part, while a replacement electronic control board can range from $150 to $350 or more. Adding professional labor costs generally brings the total repair into the $200 to $500 range, depending on your location and the specific parts required.
