ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for inhibiting the locking movement of a hooklike oven door latch member when an associated keeper fixed to the oven door is not in its proper position for engagement with the latch member. Inhibiting the locking movement of the latch member precludes the closing of associated interlock switches to prevent the user from initiating a high temperature oven cleaning cycle or a microwave cooking cycle without proper locking of the oven door. The mechanism includes a stop member biased at a latch movement inhibiting position, the stop member being moved to a non-inhibiting position by engagement with the keeper when the oven door is moved to a fully closed position.
