I'm going to post something I wrote a while back:
The oven temperature is regulated by a temperature sensor when placed in self clean the sensor is removed from the circuit and full power is applied to both the bake and broil elements causing an the temperature to exceed in some some models up to 1,000 F. I would recommend against using self clean for the simple fact that no oven cavity to this date has been designed to withstand that high of a temperature and therefore excess heat is passed upward resulting in damaged lock mechanisms, control boards, and other electronic components. The most common complaint I have had with built in ovens besides the element burning out, is the oven door locked shut. When I get to the house and I ask to tell me a little bit of whats going on the story always starts " well, I was using the self clean option" or some variation of the sort.
Now after that I have to remind you that even though the sensor is removed from the circuit, its still in the oven and more than likely is damaged, along with other parts of the oven, Check to see if the bake and broil work respectively, the broil might have stopped working because of this .The control may have overheated and certain relays aren't making contact anymore. There is a multitude of things but if everything else is working, your lucky and shouldn't concern yourself with the self clean option because it will, I promise that, cause you more harm than good in grand scheme of things.
