    Abstract: An oven latch lock assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a base for mounting the assembly to the oven, a latch operatively connected to the base at a first portion and configured to engage a door of the oven at a second portion. The latch is moveable between released and engaged positions. A bracket is operatively connected to the latch so as to effect movement of the latch between the released position and the engaged position when the bracket is rotated. A lock-out member is moveably mounted to the base and is configured to be movable between an unblocking position and a locking position. A snap-acting blade is connected to the lock-out member and snaps at a predetermined temperature to effect movement of the lock-out member. The bracket is unable to rotate when the lock-out member is in the blocking position.
