What LOCK DOOR
actually means.
On a Café stove, LOCK DOOR flashes when self-clean is selected with the door not closed. The latch cannot lock an open door, so the clean waits.

What to do when LOCK DOOR shows on the stoveKind of codeDoor lock
The latch that holds the oven door shut during self-clean did not move where the stove told it to, or its switch reported the wrong position. It turns up most often during or right after a self-clean cycle, or once the door has been lifted off for cleaning. The latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are checked before the lock motor is changed.
