What CLOSE OVEN DOOR means

On older Dacor Discovery wall ovens, such as the PO230, EO130, MOV130 and MOH130, the phrase CLOSE OVEN DOOR flashes on the display when the door is ajar, so the self-clean door latch will not lock. The oven wants the door fully shut before it starts self-clean. These older ovens are still in many Houston homes, and we repair them.

Common causes of CLOSE OVEN DOOR

A door that is not fully closed
Something resting in the door seal area
A door latch that is not catching

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press CANCEL/SECURE twice. 2. Wait about 1 minute. 3. Close the door properly, and check that nothing is caught in it. 4. Start the self-clean cycle again. 5. If the message keeps flashing with the door closed, call us.

! Why to stop there

If the door is fully shut and the message stays, the latch or its switch may be the cause, and we test them.
Some older latch parts are scarce, so we confirm a part before the repair.
We give a written price first, and we say plainly when a repair is not worth it.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

CLOSE OVEN DOORCLOSE OVEN DOOR questions

Why does my Dacor oven flash CLOSE OVEN DOOR?

The door is ajar, so the self-clean door latch will not lock. The oven wants it fully closed before self-clean can start, and the message flashes until it is.

How do I stop the CLOSE OVEN DOOR message?

Press CANCEL/SECURE twice, wait about a minute, close the door properly and start self-clean again. Those are the steps the owner's manual lists for Discovery ovens.

What if the door is closed and the message stays?

Then the latch may not be catching, or its switch is not reporting that the door is shut. Stop self-clean and call us. We test the latch assembly and quote before any work.
