Norge Oven door won't unlock/locks intermittently
If your Norge oven door won't unlock after self-cleaning or the oven door lock works intermittently, the door lock motor and switch assembly is the most likely cause. During the self-clean cycle, this assembly activates the oven door lock mechanism, and a failed motor or switch can leave the oven door locked after the cycle ends. Test the assembly for electrical continuity and replace it if it fails. If you cannot hear the lock motor run, check the oven door switch next. A defective switch may prevent the motor from receiving power. A damaged door latch or latch microswitch can also cause an oven door lock stuck condition. If the motor, switch, and latch test properly, the touchpad, control panel, or user control and display board may not be sending voltage to the motor. These less common control problems can cause an oven door not to unlock or lock intermittently. Always follow safe testing procedures, and enter your Norge range model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific oven, including the correct door lock motor, door switch, latch, touchpad, or control board.
01 - Norge Range/Stove/Oven Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly
During the oven's self-cleaning cycle, the door lock switch activates the door lock motor to prevent the oven door from being opened. If the door lock motor and switch assembly is defective, the oven door will not unlock once the self-cleaning cycle is complete or may only lock intermittently. You can use a multimeter to test the motor and switch assembly for electrical continuity. If the door lock motor and switch assembly does not test positive for continuity, the assembly should be replaced.

Highly Likely
02 - Norge Range/Stove/Oven Door Switch
A defective door switch may prevent the oven door from unlocking or only locking intermittently. If you can't hear the door lock motor running when the self-clean button is pressed, use a multimeter to test the door switch for electrical continuity. If the door switch does not test positive for continuity when the plunger is pressed, the component should be replaced.
Common
03 - Norge Range/Stove/Oven Door Latch
If the door lock motor does not test positive for electrical continuity, it's possible the door latch is defective. Inspect the latch for damage. You can also use a multimeter to test the latch assembly's microswitch, if applicable, to determine if the switch has appropriate electrical continuity. If the latch is damaged or the microswitch tests negative for continuity, the door latch should be replaced.
Common
04 - Norge Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad
If the door lock motor tests appropriately for electrical continuity, but the oven door still won't unlock or locks intermittently, it's possible that the touchpad is defective and unable to properly control the door lock motor. To help determine this, you can test for voltage reaching the door lock motor. If no voltage is reaching the motor, it's likely the touchpad requires replacement.
Less Common
05 - Norge Range/Stove/Oven Control Panel
If the door lock motor tests appropriately for electrical continuity, but the oven door still won't unlock or locks intermittently, it's possible that a control panel component is defective and the panel is unable to properly control the door lock motor. To help determine this, you can test for voltage reaching the door lock motor. If no voltage is reaching the motor, it's likely the control panel requires replacement.
Less Common
06 - Norge Range/Stove/Oven User Control and Display Board
If the door lock motor tests appropriately for electrical continuity, but the oven door still won't unlock or locks intermittently, it's possible that the user control and display board is defective and unable to properly control the door lock motor. To help determine this, you can test for voltage reaching the door lock motor. If no voltage is reaching the motor, it's likely the user control and display board requires replacement.
