You oven latch handle is either bent or the switch that attaches to the last assembly is bad. More likely you have a bent latch. You can get to it after unplugging the range, lifting the cooktop up (3 or 4 screws under the front lip) then the panel under the cooktop has to be removed to see the latch.

GENERAL ELECTRIC OVEN STUCK IN CLEAN MODE

Hi Edd.
this is all i could find.
To cancel the self-clean cycle on models with mechanical timer controls, turn the "stop" knob to the current time of day. The knob should pop out. Then, turn the oven set knob to "Off" and the oven temperature knob out of the "Clean" position.

if this does not work try this link out might help you get it sorted.

Blinking auto self clean light

There is probably a switch attached to the oven locking mechanism that need to be replaced. I had a similar problem on my GE electric oven and it worked for me.
