in cleaning a pyrolitic oven is suppose to lock the oven door , this is a safety feature due to fact that oven gets up much higher in temp than a normal oven , the heated air it produces if let out would flash burn anything in front of it to ashes (people,pets,rugs,etc.) the clock doubles as your display window to see what temp oven is at , there should be a clock selection to see current time of day even if oven is in use , and last but not least , it has a delay cleaning start feature , you can set it to come on and clean it's self , Id recommend not to use this feature for safety reasons (I don't think the mfg thought that feature out too much )
the door should remain locked till oven temp is below a preset minimum safe temp ,id not force it open for safety reasons

A feature of certain Smeg ovens, Pyrolytic cleaning is an automatic cleaning function which works by heating the inside of the oven to 500°C, at which temperature any grease stuck to the walls is simply burned off.


i think something is wrong with the elements
or a sender / sensor

so as its telling the controller for the oven that its not getting to the right temp perhaps one half of the oven isnt running etc
perhaps some sensor has become worn at these hi temps i cant see a senor lasting more than a few years before it degrades

Pyrolitic mode heats up quite hot. Might have tripped the high temp cutout.
Does the oven fan work? if so >> check element

We have experienced the same problem. We have a service tech coming to fix it. The knob has come off. It seems that the internal spring has dislodged itself. This will be claimed under warranty. Ours is 5 months old. Our other Linear combo oven and coffee machine seem to be more solid/sturdy.

If the fan is working o/k, then it is more than likely a faulty element, this is located at the rear of the oven compartment behind a removeable cover.

Hi,
Before you go working too hard to get you oven to go into the self clean mode(self destruct)....check out this tip...

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!

F23 means that the required pyrolitic temperature was not reached during the self-clean cycle. If the other half of the oven does not do this, then it could be a problem with a door lock switch or one of the overtemp sensors.

I have a hotpoint, am currently on my fifth oven and this too needs replacing. The pyrolitic lining is flaking off and going onto my food. It's coming off the roof as well as the walls so is not just from impact with trays.

I turned it off at the main power source and then turned it on again and it worked just fine ... no further problem. I would have been mad if I had called a serviceman and had him lust throw a switch and charge the earth !
