When you depress the button to release the door, you may have to wait ten seconds for it to open. Sometimes it doesn't open at all. It seems leaving it alone for a while then allows it to open readily. Then it will work fine for days or weeks before being problematic again. What is going on?
The inner mechanism is sticking or may have a cracked or broken piece.

What usually breaks is the door open lever.
On an over-the-range model, only the control panel needs to be removed. Please unplug the oven first.

Once it is apart, you'll be able to see how the door open button would press against the door open lever, which would then lift up against the door latch heads (hook-like projections on the door) and the door should open.
Dacors are made by Sharp, and one of these service manuals below may help you.
