Kenmore double oven f4 fault code - door locked. (by 2 users)

posted by Jammingjan on Dec 31, 2007


I self cleaned my kenmore oven and everything was fine. It finished cleaning and the fan was running when I left the house. When I got back it had an F4 fault code and the door was locked. I cannot get the door to unlock. (I found the repair parts guide for my double oven and it lists the model numbers as 911.4942590 or 911.4942990. Since the microwave has the model number of 911.4942590, I am assuming that the other model number is for the oven.) How do I get the door unlocked? From everything that I have read it seems that the heat sensor has shorted out, but I can't get the door open in order to get at the part. Please help e as I am about to go crazy. It is the baking season and I can't bake! Thanks, Janet

Thank you. With this advice and a little tweaking, I was able to get the door open. Will the lock reset once I replace the sensor?

The perfect tool for this is a locksmith's "slim jim" but for the rest of us try this: Make a small hook in a wire coathanger and slip it between the door and frame from the left and try to catch the hook in the latch mechanism. Use a small mirror for navigation. Pull just enough to release the door.

You shouldn't get the error code after you replace the sensor. Then if you need to, put it in clean, wait 30 seconds then cancel it. That should reset the mechanism
