A locked oven door can be a frustrating problem, especially if you have food cooking inside. There are a few different ways to open a locked oven door, depending on the type of lock and the model of oven. If you have a self-cleaning oven, the door may be locked during the cleaning cycle. In this case, you will need to wait until the cleaning cycle is complete before you can open the door. If the oven is not in a self-cleaning cycle, the door may be locked because the oven is still hot. In this case, you will need to allow the oven to cool down before you can open the door.
If the oven is cool and the door is still locked, you may be able to open it by gently pulling on the door handle. If this does not work, you may need to use a butter knife or other thin object to pry the door open. Be careful not to damage the oven door or the surrounding area when using this method.
