RKBowan's answer fixed the problem of the flashing red remove "racks" light for me, with one slight variation. I tried several of the other suggestions- turning off the power, putting the racks back in and taking them back out, cleaning what holds the racks- nothing worked. Bowan's answer described cleaning a sensor that was on the top left side of the bracket that holds the racks. I tried that, still nothing, BUT then I put the two side wall racks back in, making sure they were very firmly and properly in place. I then removed then, turned on the clean cycle, and FINALLY success!
On the E30EW85ESP3 model I had to pull the racks "and" the supports mounted on the side walls. Otherwise it would not allow the clean cycle to begin. Hope this helps.
SOURCE: I removed all the racks
There is a button on the top receiver bracket on the left side... when you take the rack support bracket out you will see it. Take a damp sponge and go over that area, pressing the plunger/button in several times. That should do it. Sometimes grease build up can prevent the button from popping out all the way, so the oven thinks that the racks are still in there.

I was getting the remove rack error until I finally figured out what it wanted me to remove. When you say you removed the rack supports, do you mean just the sliding parts or the whole side metal rack support? At first I thought they were bolted in, but I read somewhere that they come out, too. Upon further investigation, I found the rack supports just slide into the side walls at 4 points. I had to use a little force to pull them out, but they came out and my oven is self-cleaning as I write this. I just thought I would share in case you or others haven't figured it out yet. Now I will just have to see how hard it is to get them back in...
SOURCE: We have an Electrolux Icon
There is a small white plastic triangular switch that needs to be in the out position for the oven to recognize that the racks have been taken out. Look at the back left side WITHIN the upper rack support channel. (This is not the small U-shaped piece that can be seen slightly lower on the wall oven.) If the switch is still depressed, with power turned off at the breaker, depress the switch using a small screwdriver. It should pop outwards to the proper "racks out" position. When we had this problem and recycled the power, we again got the signal. Husband switched to a nonconductive tool and repeated the depressing/releasing of the switch while the oven was giving the "remove racks" command. It sensed that all was well and now operates properly. If this does not fix the problem, you may have to replace a board $$$.
