Problem with Whirlpool GS460 Gas Kitchen Range

Whirlpool super Capacity 465 gas range-Door Lock

Hi- My oven door keeps locking by itself, then flashes "FSE1" on the display. The light inside also flashes on and off, all the while I have something in the oven baking. I have never set the self-cleaning function, and have no idea what is causing this!

Thanks for any advice!

    • Had the same problem on electric version of this oven when trying to use the self-cleaning feature. After looking at the door and door locking mechanism to no avail, I tried applying slight (closing) pressure on the door after setting the oven to self-clean. After a few seconds, the "door locked" light illuminated and cleaning began.

    • I did clean mine, but when it finished it flashed FSE1 and wouldn't unlock. I still can't get it to unlock.

my oven door wont open since i self clean it

Just tried out the self cleaning and got this error.

Got this same error right before last thanksgiving and the door was locking and unlocking erratically and oven wouldn't heat. The only solution to get rid of the noise that we had at the time was to turn off the circuit breaker for the oven.

When we lifted up the top panel and cross referencing the wires with the online diagrams (Googled model number shown when opening drawer which got me to diagrams on http://www.partselect.com/) and my wife notice a hanging wire and said perhaps it shouldn't be hanging and it should plug into something. plugged it in as diagram shows and made a great turkey.

So I'll open this puppy up again and see what I can see and ask my wife to lend her keen eyeballs again ... if I don't post then we failed.

Good luck to the rest of you.

your latch is defective. they have parts that melt when you use the self cleaning cycle. they also just go out. the door should auto latch when you start the cycle but it times out when it is not seen.

Just unscrew the glass cover and change out the bulb.
