Quick answer

E011 relates to a door-lock or control fault detected during operation.

Safety warning

Important safety warning

Ovens operate at high voltage and high temperatures. Do not attempt internal electrical diagnostics — this must be handled by a qualified technician.

Please avoid

What not to attempt

Do not force the door lock

Do not access internal high-voltage wiring

Do not run self-clean repeatedly to “fix” it

When to call a technician

If E011 persists after the oven cools and the door is unobstructed, book a diagnosis to inspect the lock and control safely.
