Electrolux Range Error Code Convection Roast + Broil + Lock (LEDs 3,4,6)

Maximum unlock attempts exceeded on motor door latch.

Maximum unlock 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 Roast + Broil + Lock (LEDs 3,4,6) means on a Electrolux range

The Convection Roast + Broil + Lock LED combination (LEDs 3, 4, and 6) on an Electrolux range indicates that the oven's motor-driven door latch has exceeded its maximum number of unlock attempts without successfully releasing. This fault is specific to the self-clean cycle locking mechanism, which uses a motorized latch to secure the oven door at high temperatures. When the control system sends repeated unlock commands and fails to receive confirmation that the latch has disengaged, it stops trying and logs this error to prevent potential damage to the motor or latch assembly.

The latch mechanism includes both a motor and two switches: a phase switch and a lock switch. These switches provide positional feedback to the electronic control board, confirming whether the latch is in the locked or unlocked position. If either switch is faulty, misaligned, or the motor itself is not receiving or responding to voltage, the board cannot confirm a successful unlock and will trigger this fault after exhausting its retry attempts.

Diagnosing this error requires initiating a self-clean cycle to engage the latch, then testing for voltage at the latch motor. If line-to-neutral voltage is present at the motor but the motor does not turn, the latch mechanism itself is the failed component and should be replaced. If no voltage is present at the motor, the electronic control board is not outputting the correct signal and is the likely cause. In either path, the phase and lock switches should also be inspected for proper operation and continuity.

Common causes of Convection Roast + Broil + Lock (LEDs 3,4,6)

  1. 01

    Failed latch motor receiving voltage but not turning

    Part replacement

    If line-to-neutral voltage is confirmed at the latch motor but the motor does not run, the motor or the latch mechanism assembly has failed mechanically or electrically. The entire latch mechanism should be replaced in this case.

  2. 02

    Faulty phase or lock switch

    Part replacement

    The phase and lock switches provide positional feedback to the control board. If either switch has failed or is out of alignment, the board receives no confirmation of latch movement and will exhaust its retry attempts. Check both switches for proper continuity and alignment.

  3. 03

    Electronic control board not outputting voltage to latch motor

    Part replacement

    If voltage is absent at the latch motor during a clean cycle command, the control board is not sending the unlock signal correctly. This points to a failed control board that requires replacement.

  4. 04

    Latch mechanism obstructed or mechanically jammed

    Wiring / connection

    Physical debris, grease buildup, or a bent component can prevent the latch from traveling to the unlocked position even when the motor runs. Inspect the latch assembly for obstructions before replacing parts.

Frequently asked questions about Convection Roast + Broil + Lock (LEDs 3,4,6)

What does Convection Roast + Broil + Lock (LEDs 3,4,6) mean on a Electrolux range?
This LED combination indicates that the oven's motorized door latch has exceeded the maximum number of unlock attempts allowed by the control system. The oven tried repeatedly to release the door latch and failed to confirm a successful unlock through the latch position switches. This fault most commonly points to a failed latch motor, a faulty phase or lock switch, or a control board that is not supplying voltage to the latch motor.
Can I fix the Convection Roast + Broil + Lock error myself on an Electrolux range?
A knowledgeable DIYer can perform the basic voltage test by setting the oven to a clean cycle and checking for line-to-neutral voltage at the latch motor terminals. If voltage is present and the motor does not run, replacing the latch mechanism is a feasible repair. If no voltage is present, replacing the electronic control board is more complex and requires comfort working around high-voltage components with the power properly isolated.
Is it safe to use my Electrolux range while the door latch error is displayed?
You should not attempt to use the oven for cooking while this fault is active, particularly if the door is still locked from a previous clean cycle. The latch system is in a failed state, and forcing the door or running the oven could cause further component damage. Address the underlying latch or control board issue before resuming normal use.
Will resetting the Electrolux range clear the Convection Roast + Broil + Lock error?
A power reset may temporarily clear the displayed error, but it will not resolve the underlying mechanical or electrical fault. If the latch motor, position switches, or control board are defective, the error will return when the oven next attempts a clean cycle or door latch operation. A proper repair of the failed component is required for a lasting resolution.
How much does it cost to repair the latch error on an Electrolux range?
Repair costs depend on which component has failed. A latch mechanism assembly typically ranges from around $50 to $150 in parts, while an electronic control board can range from $150 to $350 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor will increase total costs, generally placing a full repair somewhere between $200 and $500 depending on the diagnosis and parts required.
