Thermador Oven Error Code E207

E207 means the lower cavity door latch (Cavity 2) failed to unlock. The oven's control board sent the unlock command but did not receive confirmation that the latch returned to the open position. This fault is most commonly triggered after a self-clean cycle and prevents the lower oven door from being opened normally.

You should not attempt to force the lower cavity door open while E207 is active, as this can damage the latch assembly or the door hinge. The oven may also restrict normal cooking operation in the lower cavity until the fault is resolved. Address the latch issue before resuming use of the affected cavity.

Repair costs vary depending on the faulty component. A latch assembly or position switch replacement typically falls in the range of $100 to $300 for parts, with additional labor costs if a technician is involved. Control board replacement is more expensive, generally ranging from $250 to $600 or more for the part alone. Getting a diagnostic visit from a certified technician is the most reliable way to determine the exact cost for your specific situation.

Some causes of E207 can be addressed without professional help, such as clearing a physical obstruction from the latch mechanism or checking for a loose wiring connector at the latch assembly. However, replacing the latch motor, position switch, or control board requires disassembly of the oven cavity and comfort working with appliance wiring. If you are unsure about any of these steps, it is best to contact a qualified technician.

Power cycling the oven by shutting off the circuit breaker for several minutes may allow the latch motor to attempt the unlock sequence again, and in some cases this clears a temporary fault. However, if there is a mechanical obstruction, a failed component, or a wiring issue, the code will return. A reset is a reasonable first step but is not a substitute for diagnosing the underlying cause.
