Wait until the oven is fully cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How long should I wait before worrying about Unlock Door on my Café? The latch should release once the oven has cooled. If it is cool and still locked, a 30-second power cut is the next step. ### Can I run another self-clean to free the door on my Café? GE suggests a short self-clean only when the oven is empty. After that, leave the latch to a technician. --- **[Read on the site: Café wall oven showing Unlock Door | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/cafe-unlock-door/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
