The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.

Do not force it Oven door locked shut
A self-clean cycle that has finished and a door that will not open. The latch releases on temperature rather than on a timer, and forcing a professional door turns a small repair into a large one.
- Door locked after a clean cycle
- Self-clean that will not start at all
- A latch code in the hundreds

About Thermador oven error code E107
What this one means
The latch has locked and is not releasing — E107 for the upper cavity, E207 for the lower one. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.
The other ways your machine may say it
The two labels are the two cavities of a double or triple oven, not two ages of machine — E1xx is the upper cavity and E2xx the lower, and the number tells you which one to look at:
- E107, E207
- Three LEDs on the panel blinking out the digits 1, 0 and 7 — how a model with no digital display says it. On that machine, the lights are the code
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- The latch motor and its switches
- A cavity that has not cooled to the release temperature
- The linkage binding in the locked position
What to try yourself
- Give it a full hour after a clean cycle with the door left alone — the latch releases on temperature, not on a timer
- Switch off at the breaker for a minute and back on once it is cold
Then what
This is the one that traps a roasting tin inside on the day you need it. If the oven is cold and the door is still locked, the latch assembly is the repair — forcing the door bends the frame and turns a part into a door.
