How do I clean my amana gas self cleaning oven

Sounds like a relay on the control board. I would suggest replacing the control itself.

Your self cleaning cycle is running. When self cleaning is running the door is automatically locked and will not unlock until the self cleaning cycle completes or self cleaning is turned off. You should be able to just turn off the self cleaning cycle and the door will unlock. Do not try to pry open the oven door. You will just damage the door and/or the catch.

Here is the manual for that unit.

Close the oven and the associate latch ( near the handle) then select the self cleaning option on the control.. Let it run thru its cycle.. when it is complete and cooled down enough.. the door latch will release and allow entry into the oven.. Hope that helps..

Check the oven sensor it may be the problem. Also check the lock assembly. When in self clean does your bake come on too? It should come on with the broiler.
