Hi there, I was wiping down my oven and hit one of these buttons the timer went off, my oven now won’t work and I have no idea what to do ?

Is there any letters that it is displaying on the LCD screen? If so it could be in lock mode or display mode.
Locate the "Cancel" and "Cook & Hold" buttons on the oven's control panel.
Hold down "Cancel" then hold "Cook & Hold" with another finger for three seconds. Both buttons must be held together.
Wait three seconds; the display will change from "OFF" to "LOCK" and the door will seal.
Repeat these instructions to unlock the door. The door lock cannot be activated if the oven is in use.

I have a ken more elite double oven. I set it for 425 for 30 min and was to turn it back. I am cooking a chicken. I didn't have my glasses on and accidentally turned the flex and clean on. Now

sure you'll be able to open it but your chicken will be burnt to a crisp. actually, it may not if you just hit cancel right away after starting the self clean feature.

Model GBS307PDQ5: Oven preheated to 425 degrees.

F3 usually means, that the oven temp. sensor is bad and one need to replace it.
The fact, that it's not heating tells me, the fuse in the back also needs to be replaced (requires pulling out).

Hit the "clean " button on my gas stove. Not only did it not clean but the Door locked button has been flashing for 2 weeks. Everytime I go to cook and it the Bake, Broil key it flashes DR then F9 I h

Personal opinion. Do not mess with settings on a gas stove. Call a gas oven repair tech and have them come out and fix it. That way if it happens again you have someone to call

How can i quit cleaning oven?

During the self clean cycle, oven temp will exceed 900 degrees F. At these temps, if you opened the door, the food inside would immediately catch on fire when the supply of oxygen hit it. When you turn your self clean cycle off, the oven door will remain locked until the internal temp drop below aprox. 550 degrees F for your safety. Once the oven cool below this temp, you will be able to start using the bake or broil again. This should be a Fix-Ya for your oven.

Self cleaning

Maryann, try shutting the breaker off for 5 minutes and see if the door unlocks. Im assuming the oven has cooled down. If that doesn't work try holding the cancel and broil pads for 3 seconds. This will put it into the quik test mode. Once in this mode press the clean button. This should toggle between lock and unlock. Don't know if this will work for you but it's worth a try..Catriver...post back.
