What DOOR LOCKING
actually means.
DOOR LOCKING flashes on a Profile when a self-clean has been selected and the door is open or not fully shut. The latch will not engage until it is.

What to do when DOOR LOCKING 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for DOOR LOCKING on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the oven door firmly.
Check that no rack or pan edge is stopping the door from sealing.
If the door is shut and the message keeps flashing, cancel, reset the breaker and book a visit to check the latch switch.

What not to do
DOOR LOCKING is not a stuck latch or a failed motor. It is a prompt to close the door before the clean can start.
