So funny story. My stove is currently inoperable because the door lock on the oven is fucked up somehow. Why an oven needs a door lock and why the door lock being fucked should prevent the whole thing from working I cannot tell you. I've literally never used it. Thanks whoever programmed that...
The door lock I can understand for safety reasons. Bricking the whole thing because one part broke is lazy programming.
The door lock failing should just disable the self cleaning mode
Every stove I've had with a self cleaning option also has an automatic door lock. The oven gets extra hot during self cleaning mode.
So.... just don't let me use self cleaning... Why does the whole thing need to be bricked because the lock doesn't work for a single function I'm not using? It doesn't lock when you use it for baking.
My parents, like 30 years ago, once locked their oven door by using the self-clean. They had to call a repair man to come unlock it.
One like my washing maschine has, with touch display and all the firmware bugs where you sometimes have to reboot the maschine to unlock?
I tried rebooting it but that didn't fix the problem. It's a GE if anyone needs a brand to avoid.
Our dishwasher has the option to reset the currently selected program but it has to take a minute to do so with the machine closed always. So you'd press start, realise you selected the wrong program and, even though nothing changed except software, still have to close it for a minute.
