Close the oven door firmly. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Café flash LOCK DOOR when the door looks shut? The switch may not sense it closed. A door that has shifted out of position is a common reason. ### Can I stop LOCK DOOR flashing on my Café without cleaning? Cancel the self-clean selection and the message goes away. ### Is LOCK DOOR on a Café the same as the DOOR LOCK light? No. The light means the door is already locked because the oven is hot; LOCK DOOR flashing means it cannot lock yet. --- **[Read on the site: Café stove flashing LOCK DOOR | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/cafe-lock-door/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
