Door Stuck Locked After a Cycle on a Bosch Oven (E107)

What E107 means

You go to open the door and it will not budge, and the display reads E107. Two situations can hold it shut. Either the cavity is still hotter than the control considers safe for releasing the door, or the latch is not responding the way the control expects. The oven tries to unlock for a minute and then gives up. If the latch is later seen open for over ten seconds, the message clears itself.

Common causes of E107

Cavity still hotter than the release temperature
Latch motor or position switch that has failed
Latch mechanism binding mechanically

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Leave the door alone and let the oven cool completely; a self-clean cycle takes it well above 800 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Only when the cavity is cold, shut off the breaker for several minutes and then restore it. 3. Try the door gently. 4. Never pry, lever or force it at any stage, and call us if it stays shut.

! Why to stop there

Touching or forcing a door on a cavity this hot risks serious burns.
Levering the door bends the frame and breaks the latch parts, multiplying the repair.
A binding latch and a dead latch motor feel the same from outside, so only testing tells them apart.

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.

E107E107 questions

How long until the door unlocks on its own?

Often a few hours after a self-clean, once the cavity has cooled well below the release temperature. If it is cold and still locked, the latch itself likely needs attention.

Is a door that stays locked dangerous?

The lock is meant to protect you from a hot cavity, so it is not a hazard by itself. Forcing it is the real danger, so wait or call us.

Will you need to replace the whole door?

Usually not. The latch motor or position switch is the typical repair, and the door stays. You see a written price first, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
