It should unlock once the temperature has dropped to a safe level. If its still locked after that time, I would say the safety lock has failed to release and will need replacing. I think it will need accessing through the top to manually release the door latch mechanism.
I took the back off the stove and manually moved the door locking mechanism to unlock the door. Then started a cleaning cycle untill the door locked. Cancled that cycle and the door unlocked just fine.
Seems OK now.
First get rid of the noise by turnining off te breaker.
You will have to pry the lock open.
This is common I use a small screwdriver and coathanger wire,then pull out oven enouhg to replace lock.
After the lock indicator light goes out, move the
door lock lever to the left. The oven door can now be opened. Turn the
selector and temperature knobs from clean to off AFTER THE DOOR IS
UNLOCKED. If the temperature knob is turned to off BEFORE the door is
unlocked, the door will not open. Forcing the lock will damage the lock
mechanism. If this should happen, return the temperature knob back to
CLEAN, unlock the door, THEN turn the temperature knob off.

the oven door does lock during self clean, otherwise it will not work. however, the door is supposed to unlock after the oven has cooled. if it is still locked, turn the oven to self clean and wait about a minute and then hit cancel and see if the door unlocks. if not, there may be a probelm with the door lock mechanism.

The problem may very well be in one of the micro switches on the self cleaning motor bracket. These switches control the electrical flow to the heating elements. In the owners manual there is/should be a chart that lists the unlock and safety combinations. This would be your best source of information.
