Abstract
A compact, reliable motorized oven door latch assembly utilizes a latch that pivotally connects to a motor at an axis that is offset from the motor's axis. The latch includes a latch guide that is guided by a slot in a housing of the assembly. Rotation of the motor moves the latch between open and closed positions. A cam rotationally engages the motor and includes axially disposed cam surfaces that interact with side-by-side switches to sense when the latch is open and closed. The assembly includes a reusable release/service feature that allows the latch to be opened without operation of the motor if the latch becomes stuck in the closed position. The service feature includes a resiliently deformable flange that defines part of the guide surface.
