I have a Hotpoint SD97PI oven and the self clean function and grill have stopped working. In fact all of the functions on the left side of the cooking function selector (multi cooking, pizza, grill, gratin and fast clean have stopped working - they try to work but do not reach temperature. Have you any idea please what might be the problem with the oven and whether it is a quick/easy fix? Thank you, Steve
The oven temperature is regulated by a temperature sensor when placed in self clean the sensor is removed from the circuit and full power is applied to both the bake and broil elements causing an the temperature to exceed in some some models up to 1,000 F. I would recommend against using self clean for the simple fact that no oven cavity to this date has been designed to withstand that high of a temperature and therefore excess heat is passed upward resulting in damaged lock mechanisms, control boards, and other electronic components. The most common complaint I have had with built in ovens besides the element burning out, is the oven door locked shut. When I get to the house and I ask to tell me a little bit of whats going on the story always starts " well, I was using the self clean option" or some variation of the sort.

SOURCE: Self-cleaning feature of GE Built-In Oven does not work
Simply set the Clock and Delay Start to the current time, then set the Stop Time ahead 3 hours. For example, if it is currently 8:00 then set the Stop Time to 11:00. The lights on the console will come on and the cleaning cycle will begin. At some point during the cycle when the oven gets hot enough, the lock mechanism is "fixed" and will not release until the cycle is complete.
SOURCE: After usung the self cleaning function the oven no longer works
Check for correct voltage at plug, in the mean time the oven will be disconnected from any power, see if it resets with no power for 10 minutes

keep turning the oven/grill selector past the temperature settings, it feels like it won't go any further but it does!
