Dacor DOB30M977DS 30 in 4.8 cu ft True Convection Wall Oven with WiFi F7 Error Fix: Door Lock Enabled Above Temperature

The oven door lock has engaged while the oven cavity temperature is above the safe threshold. This typically occurs when the self-clean cycle is interrupted or when the control board incorrectly activates the lock mechanism at high temperature. Check the door lock switches and wiring. Verify the door lock motor is functioning properly. If the oven was in self-clean mode, allow the oven to cool below 550°F before attempting to unlock. The door lock assembly may need replacement if the lock mechanism is intermittently engaging.
