Oven wont self clean
Good Morning Andrea,
I see that you are having trouble with your Electrolux range, model# E30DF74GPS, and getting it to go into the self-clean cycle. I would suggest giving it a hard reset. First make sure the racks are in. Next, cut the power at the circuit breaker and leave it off for 2-3 minutes. After the time has elapsed cut the power back on. Start the self-clean cycle with the racks inside the oven. We're trying to get the oven to recognize the racks are inside. Once it states the racks are in, cancel out and take the racks out. Now, with the racks out start the self-clean cycle again. If you are still receiving the red light blinking, I suggest contacting the manufacturer or your local authorized technician. Hope this has been helpful.
-Best Regards-

Hello Cynthia,
Welcome to FixYa.
Is this the first time the un it has been set for self-clean ? Or is it the first time you have set it for self clean ?
The reason I ask is based on your post "The racks are removed. When I try to start the self cleaning feature - a message flashes in red to remove oven racks " I really don't think anything is wrong with your oven.
This is simply a reminder to remove your racks before the oven reaches the temperature ( usually above 550 ) which the door cannot be opened even by canceling the clean cycle until it cools down below 550...a safety measure.
If you allow the unit to proceed through the self clean the message will go away after a while and the cycle will continue on it's merry way.
Hope that answers your question or quells your concern. Those darn self clean ovens get so hot they will make your nice racks look like barbecue grills if left in during the cleaning, it is definitely better to be sure now than sorry later though, glad you asked.
Thank you for choosing FixYa. Let me know if you need any further assistance and good luck.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)

Push the racks all the way to the rear of the oven. Lift the rear of the rack to dislodge it from the side rail and pull it out.

Hi,
I just did the self clean function today. They need you to remove the rack supports from each side of the oven cavity. Simply pull up on them to remove. When I did this the message was not displayed and the slef clean function started. Hope that helps.

The unit needs to be reset. The temperature had tripped the internal sensor of the unit. This usually has to be done by a professional since the back panel needs to be taken off and the power reset inside.
Hi friend, thank you for your inquiry!
I understand that you are receiving a "remove racks" message on your Electrolux range. The oven racks and supports must be removed before the self-clean will initiate or the control will not allow the self-clean to turn on. I hope this is helpful. -Matt
