RS696PXGB2 will not unlock after replacing Thermal Fuse. How can you override the locking mechanism?

  • Doug Collins Oct 30, 2013

    This solved the problem but does not answer the question. In able to get the back of the oven, you must remove the rails covering the mounting screws. To remove the rails the door should be open to get to the screws securing the rails. I took a small nail and used the head of the nail to back out the screws with the door closed and locked. After the rail screws were removed the mounting screws were removed and the unit slid out.
    While replacing the thermal fuse, the thermal couple connector was twisted and one of the contact became disengaged. re-inserting the contact and restoring power dis-engaged the lock. The oven is working as well as it did before the self cleaning cycle.

Nutool SF20 electronic digital safe

Here are a few steps you can try to unlock your Nutool SF20 electronic digital safe:
  1. Double-check the battery installation: Make sure the batteries are correctly installed and not dead.
  2. Try the default code: Many safes come with a valuable default code in opening the safe when you forget your code or if the keypad stops working. The default code is usually found in the manual or inside the safe door.
  3. Check the locking mechanism: Make sure that the locking mechanism is not jammed or stuck. Try manually moving the locking mechanism with a screwdriver or other tool to see if it will release.
  4. Use the override key: If your safe has an override key, insert it into the keyhole and turn it to the left or right to open the door.
  5. Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above steps works, contact Nutool customer service. They may be able to provide you with additional troubleshooting steps or advice, or they may need to send a technician to repair or replace the safe.

How to unlock transmission mechanism

Insert key into the ignition and turn the ignition switch to the "ON" or "RUN" position. It is not necessary to start the engine. Then Locate the shift lock override slot located on the shifter console near the shifter lever. There are many pictures of this on this site: https://www.google.com/search?q=shift+lock+override+button&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS760US760&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiEtuf8kJLXAhVB8IMKHfZ1DUcQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1367&bih=637 If you can't find it, google car forums with the make and model of your car and state you want a picture of the shift lock overrride mechanism. I hope this helps you out! Rhonda

Power locks wont lock doors with switch

All doors? Check the fuse...see owner's manual for info. Also verify that it is the vehicle's lock switches...or the keyless entry fob. If it is a single door, this can be a tricky difficult ordeal to find the "source" of the problem.
The difficulty is due to the fact that the negative/positive wires reverse polarity at door lock relays each time the lock is electrically exercised. The locks are activated by an electromagnet solenoid, which reverse when the supply current reverses polarity. For example, you may be able to lock a door with the switch then not be able to unlock it...or vice versa. If one of the wires has a fault, and the door locked [or unlocked], the relay was also "tripped/switched" with the "good" wire. When that happened, the relay effectively reversed the wire polarities...meaning that the faulty wire cannot energize the relay/solenoid to activate the lock-unlocking mechanism to reverse the process..

Simply, put...this is not likely a do-it-yourself fix, unless you have fair DC electrical skills, and a shop manual with complete wiring diagrams. The problem could be a poor wire connection, a broken wire, a faulty relay, a faulty solenoid, or a combination of these...or even a physical fault in the mechanical linkage for the lock.

If your vehicle has a locking lifting hatch back...and this is the "door" that won't operate, this can be very aggravating as there is no manual override, without removing the door/hatch trim and manually moving the linkage.

Hopefully it is the fuse.....good luck.

After self cleaning the display is blank and door is locked

Which thermal fuse did you replace?
There are 3.
This manual will help you diagnose the oven.
Thermal fuses are explained on page 3-2.

Oven will not unlock after the self clean ended. error is displayed

When this happens on mine, it's due to a failed thermal fuse on the top of the oven.Some of these unit's (mine in particular) had to have a factory mod kit installed.
There is an override somewhere to allow unlatching the door, but the unit will still not work without replacement of the fuse.

Unable to open rear nearside door. I have managed to take off the door card and can now see the inside of the door but both the inside and outside door handles appear to be working but the lock mechanism...

Is your car door set up to override the lock mechanism if the door handle is pulled?

If it is not set to override, is your door still locked when you use the handle?

If the door is unlocked, is your door latch in the open position when you test the handle?

If open, close the door latch (not the door, just the latch) and pull the handle to see if this releases.

If it doesn't, check to see if all the rods connecting to the latch mechanism and the handles are all in working order
