Oh man, this reminds me of a story - GE Profile oven in a ski condo, last day or second to last day we were there.
Broke in a way that you couldn't open the door - and we couldn't get the bacon out. Wound up reading the repair manual and a forum while the GF cooked eggs, trying to figure it out.
The Solenoid that is used to lock the door when it goes through a clean cycle has to be powered on 100% of the time, and keeps its spring compressed. Power turns off to lock it. If the insulator/bushing for it breaks, it will jam open & lock the door.
Family will never buy GE appliances after this happened. Mom just bought a new Kitchenaid that's got exactly 0 smart features.
