Oven door won't unlock
Oven door is locked, won't allow reset via clear/off, I unplugged, hoping to "reboot" but when I plugged it back in, same status. Time didn't help: I eft it "locked" overnight. Still won't clear. . (... I accidentally hit "clean" last night and immediately pressed buttons to stop. I successfully stopped "clean, but can't make it unlock. It's Frigidaire ES300 Control, Self-Cleaning oven. The manual does not address this problem.

- After trying your suggestion (and everything else online), I went back to the manual and started reading from scratch. In a section unrelated to the self-clean feature, there was information regarding unlocking the oven door. The instructions said press the "clear/off" button FOR 3 SECONDS to unlock. I pressed it again, this time holding it for 3 seconds. The light started flashing and the door unlocked. Again, thank you for your attempt to lhelp.Same Problem

- My Kenmore Elite Radiant free standing range is displaying "Locked Door" and won't turn on. The door is NOT locked, I can open it, and the locking arm is swinging freely. I've tried holding the clear button down, running the self cleaning cycle to try to clear it (the timer on the self cleaning ran but the oven never heated up), "rebooting" by shutting the power off. Am still unable to clear the flashing Locked Door message and cannot use the oven. The range top works fine.Help!

- My display says "locked door" but the door opens fine. We tried running it thru a clean cycle, holding down the clear button, shutting power downs and "rebooting", etc. The door will open, and the latch moves freely, but we can't use the oven because it thinks the door is locked.Can't seem to reset. Any help?

THANK YOU BREADLESS...I had a similar problem with my Kenmore built-in oven. I accidentally pushed the clean button and then immediately opened the door. The clean cycle stopped but I could not close the door because the latch was in the locked postion. Holding the clear button for 3 seconds activated the latch to move to the unlocked position and I was able to close the door.

I had the same problem on my Kenmore Electric Range. Door would not unlock. Tried pressing "Off" for multiple seconds, but still would not unlock. No error codes. Clock was displaying normally. Finally decided to try running it thru the self cleaning operation to get it to cycle thru locking and unlocking the door. When I started self clean, the door automatically went thru the auto lock and "locked" appeared in the display. I then hit "Off" to clear it and stop the cleaning cycle. The door then unlocked as normal!

from Don H.
I have the problem with the oven door locked and the code F2E0 showing and here is what I found!! When I tried the clean cycle the locking solenoid would try to engage ,or disengage if I tried to cancel , but the door would not release. After opening up the back with the power off I tried to cycle the solenoid manually and it worked fine. However on close inspection I found that the micro switches ,which detect the position of the locking arm, were not closing. I found the upper bolt which holds the adjustment of the switches was loose! I realigned the microswitch assembly to close properly , tightened that bolt and all is well. Restored the power, cleared the code and everything works fine.

I was cooking at 500 degrees. The oven door locked, even though "locked" did not appear on the display. After turning the oven off, the door remains locked. I pressed "Off" for 5 seconds, and "E0 F0" code appeared. I pressed "Off" once again and thje display cleared and clock time displayed as usual. No error codes are showing. Kenmore Electric Range Model 95829 from 2001. How can I get the door opened?

I have a 1998 Kitchenaid oven that also has a locked door due to canceling the self cleaning process. I have called Kitchenaid and they said to disconnect power or hold the Bake button for 70 seconds, neither worked. However an error code of F5E7 appeared but cleared after I hit the Cancel/Off button. I also called a local appliance repair shop and they said it is probably a bad solenoid. Any other ideas? I believe the last time this happened I took the door off and manually moved the lock but am not sure as it has been a few years.

I had a similar problem with my Kenmore built-in oven. I accidentally pushed the clean button and immediately opened the door. The clean cycle stopped but the door would not close because the latch was in the locked position. Nothing worked until I tried your solution of pushing and holding the cancel button for three seconds. The latch started to turn and finally it was in the unlocked position and I was able to close the door. THANK YOU.

I have a Kitchenaide Oven and same door lock issue occurred complete with the E5:C7 error after accidently hitting clean and then cancel. Unplugging it didn't help but we ran the self clean for 15 minutes, then held down the cancel/off for 10 seconds until a "too hot" message appeared. 5 minutes later we heard a loud click and the oven lock had released.

my oven door has been locked for a week.....I did the auto clean and now the door will not open.

I have a GE Profile Electric Oven. I set it on automatic self clean. It went through the cleaning process (4 hours) but when that ended, the door would not unlock. I have tried starting the cleaning process again and then cancelling it. It did not unlock. I held down the clear/off button for several seconds and it still won't unlock.

We had a storm last night which knocked out the power. The Kitchen Aid slide in range was off. When power turned back on, the range showed "err - oven door locked", I shut off power to the range and rebooted to no avail. I also tried to use self clean, shutting off after a few minutes but same problem.

Worked like a charm.. I have a wall-mounted frigidaire, door locked after self-cleaning cycle. I just started a cleaning cycle, then a minute later pressed cancel and held it down.. and 10 seconds later, presto, door unlocked. :) Thanks!
