Your favourite oven not closing properly? It’s happened with time, or a problem with door lock assembly. In this case to fix the problem - you must change door lock assembly in your GE Monogram ZEP30FLS. Don’t need to panic. Process is not difficult, and you can do it alone. Just be carefull, and prepare some tools (Screwdriver, 1/4-inch nut driver, scraper, work gloves). Let’s start!
Carefully pull the range forward and unplug it. Remove the screws that secure the back panel to the range—as you remove the last couple of screws, press the panel against the range so it doesn't fall. Carefully lower the panel to the floor. Take a photo of the wires or mark them with numbered pieces of masking tape before removing them so you can attach the wires to the new door lock assembly the same way. Disconnect all the wires from the oven door lock motor assembly. Remove the mounting screws that hold the door lock assembly in place. To release the door lock assembly from the connecting rod, pull the oven door lock motor assembly down and tilt it in. Remove the door lock assembly from the range and discard it. Tilt the new oven door lock motor assembly and insert the connecting rod in the opening. Work the assembly into position and screw the door lock assembly in place. Carefully connect all the wires in the right location on the new oven door lock assembly, according to the digital image or numbered tags. Position the outer back panel on the back of the range so that the holes line up and screw it into place. Plug in the range and push the range into position. Ensure that the rear leveling foot is properly engaged in the anti-tip bracket.
Problem is solved! Not a difficult process and you have fixed the problem. If your oven is still not closing, there could be a defective part that requires a replacement, and you may need to consult a professional.
