Re: How do I install the oven door on a Kenmore Electric...
Might be the same as most I've seen. Pull the metal arms down on both sides to where they stay in place as if the door was open to the broil position and just slide the door on.

Since you indicate that the door lock has been triggered with the door open, try pressing the Stop/Clear button. (Note: holding the Stop/Clear button will trigger the control panel lock.) If that doesn't return the lock to the normal position, you probably have a fault in the lock mechanism. See parts 88 and on the body diagram: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range-parts?page=3 . You can try to turn the latching rod by accessing the lock mechanism from the back of the range. (Unplug or turn the range off at the circuit breaker.) Since the lock mechanism gets a signal from the control board, check your wiring for damage. If needed, replace the lock or wiring.
I hope this helps. If your range is covered by a warranty, contact Sears/Kenmore or your extended warranty company.
Open the oven door. Grab the light globe and turn it counter-clockwise until it comes off. Next, grab the light bulb, turn it counter-clockwise until it comes out.
Reverse procedures to re-install
The F9 code indicates there is a problem with the door lock.
Try disconnecting the power to the range for 10 seconds and reconnecting. Open the oven door and hold the door switch plunger in while you try these things. Put the control into clean for 5 minutes then cancel clean. You must hold the door switch plunger in for the 5 minutes.
Try canceling the clean cycle without putting the control into clean.

Hard wiring is O.K. and really better because you don't have to fool with the plug and the loss of or poor connection there. You can just turn the power off at the breaker. Without knowing what the F9 error code is, you may have a problem with the board inside the control panel. To get the door open, try to push and hold door closed at the same time. This may loosen the tension on the closer and allow it to open. Pull the lever to open it. If not, try to moderately tap on the door where it latches and it may open then. Next, slide a thin screwdriver into the latch and free it up there. Once the door opens, I believe your oven will work. The oven believes it is in the self clean mode. When you get the door open, turn on the oven with the door open and it should heat. If it does not, check the wiring in the back and you may find that one of the wires has burned off the control switch for the oven. I know this sounds like a lot, but it should save you a tech call and a couple of hundred dollars. Hope this helps.
Press the self-clean button. The panel becomes blank(---), then press the up arrow( ^ ). The panel will appear 3:00 (indication for the duration of self-cleaning). The oven will lock on its own and start the self-cleaning. Good luck, ya'll!
