Oven won't unlock!

I came home from work - reset the clock on my oven and noticed it was locked. It won't unlock and I've tried every button. I've just moved in this house and can't find the manual. It also sounds like it's cleaning or something, but every time I hold down cancel, F7 flashes up. I've done internet searches and just can't figure it out. The clock is set, but the lock light just won't shut and release the door. Help!

Belling oven can't unlock after power cut
If your Belling oven is unable to unlock after a power cut and you've already tried holding in the cancel button, there are a few additional steps you can try to unlock it:
  1. Check the fuse or circuit breaker: Make sure that the fuse or circuit breaker that controls the oven's power supply has not tripped. If it has, reset it and try to unlock the oven again.
  2. Check the lock mechanism: Make sure the lock mechanism is not damaged or stuck. The lock mechanism may have been damaged during the power cut.
  3. Try resetting the oven: Unplug the oven or turn off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes, then turn it back on and try to unlock it.
  4. Check the manual: Consult the user manual of your oven, it may have specific instructions on how to unlock the oven after a power cut.
  5. Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above steps work, contact the manufacturer for assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or arrange for a service technician to repair the oven.
It's important to note that these steps may not work for all models, and it may be best to take it to a professional technician for further assistance.

Electrolux Icon Oven self cleaning won't start- the lock button keeps flashing. Yes, the racks and rack holders are removed.
Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you are having trouble with your Electrolux Icon oven, model# E30SO75ESS, and running the self-clean cycle. I see that the lock button keeps flashing and that you have the racks and rack holders out. I suggest following the steps below to run your self-clean cycle:

    1) Place the rack holders and the racks in your oven.

    2) Reset your appliance, by shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes.

    3) Restore power.

    4) Reset the clock, by pressing the "Clock" button then press the number "2". Enter in the time of day, and then press the "Clock" button again.

    5) Start the self-clean cycle with the racks in your range. This is to make your oven recognize that the racks are in the oven.

    6) Take the racks and rack holders out and start the self-clean cycle again.

    I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your oven status has changed successfully.

    -Best Regards-

Whirlpool loc
From a google search the following is copied:

LOC is a control panel lock not a door lock, see below.

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the ovens.
When the control is locked, only the CLOCK, TIMER SET and
TIMER OFF pads will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the ovens,
Timer and Timed Cooking are off. Press and hold START/ENTER
until a single tone sounds and "Loc," a picture of a lock and
"START?" will appear on the oven display, about 5 seconds.
Repeat to unlock and remove "Loc" from display.

If the above does not work have you tried removing power from the uit for a few minutes to see if it will reset.

MY OVEN WON'T HEAT
Hello - Does any part of the range work? I would recommend verifying that a fuse is not blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Test the power outlet with a lamp, hair dryer, etc. Another questions, does "Loc" appear in the display if any button is pushed? The Oven Lockout feature automatically locks the oven door, prevents the warmer drawer and most oven controls from being turned ON. If so, press and hold CLEAR/OFF for 3 seconds. A beep will sound. LOC will clear. The "DOOR LOCKED" will continue to flash until the oven door has completely unlocked. Does the clock display "Sd" or "dddd"? If so, the clock is in sales demo mode. Press and hold the "BAKE TIME" button for 6 seconds to exit sales demo mode. If this does not prove to be successful, contact a professional to have EOC diagnosed and/or to confirm that there isn't a wiring failur

  • 1.Press the "Clear/Off" button on the control panel to reset the oven. This will clear the lock setting and unlock the door.

    3.Reset the oven to the temperature you require to finish cooking by pressing the correct temperature control on the control pad.

    or

  • 1.If your GE Profile microwave won't turn on, unplug it, then plug it back in. A power outage may have occurred due to a power surge. Check your home's fuses and circuit breakers.

    2.Set the clock of your GE Profile microwave. Certain models will not operate until you set the clock. Select the "Clock" key and type in the correct time.

  • 3.Hold down your microwave's "Off" button. You may have accidentally hit the control-lock feature on your GE Profile microwave. Hold down the "Off" button for three seconds to turn the lock off.

    Oven lock light
    Oven lock is usually associated with oven cleaning. Last owner probably tried to clean the oven for you and didn't finish the cycle. Either finish cycle or turn it off (if possible).

    kenmore special edition oven drops relay/ digital clock delay Hi, I stay in Greece. I bought a new home. The ex-owner (from US) left a new and unused electric oven by Kenmore (special edition). I don't know exactly the age but I'm sure that it is older than 5 years. Unfortunately I have two problems: 1. When I turn on the oven and set a temperature f.e.180degrees, it begins at 100degrees and after 3 minutes it drops the central relay of the house. 2. The clock is not running correctly. According oven's clock,1 minute lasts for 1 min and 30 seconds. So it is always wrong. I searched for a greek representative but I couldn't find someone. You are my only hope! Could you help me? Thanks a lot, Nikitas
