What Unlock Door
actually means.
Unlock Door appears on Café wall ovens when the door stays locked after a self-clean cycle. GE treats it as a message rather than a code, and the first steps are power and time.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Café's own guidance for Unlock Door on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Wait until the oven is fully cool.
Disconnect power for 30 seconds and see whether the latch releases.
If not, and the oven is empty, GE suggests a short self-clean to reset it; book a visit if the door stays locked.
Still there?
It usually turns into door lock and self-clean repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
The door staying shut while the oven is still hot is normal; the latch holds until the cavity cools.
