I have a kenmore electric range. The oven door is

Sears Parts Direct has the manual for the Kenmore 790.45062401 here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/manual/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range . Usually when a range beeps continuously, there is a communication problem between the key pad and the control board. It could indicate a short or a stuck key. That's part 20 on the backguard diagram: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range-parts .

Since you indicate that the door lock has been triggered with the door open, try pressing the Stop/Clear button. (Note: holding the Stop/Clear button will trigger the control panel lock.) If that doesn't return the lock to the normal position, you probably have a fault in the lock mechanism. See parts 88 and on the body diagram: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range-parts?page=3 . You can try to turn the latching rod by accessing the lock mechanism from the back of the range. (Unplug or turn the range off at the circuit breaker.) Since the lock mechanism gets a signal from the control board, check your wiring for damage. If needed, replace the lock or wiring.

I hope this helps. If your range is covered by a warranty, contact Sears/Kenmore or your extended warranty company.

This is the self cleaning lock latch. I inherited the same stove the same way - came with the little 100-year-old cottage we just bought. Fortunately the owners manual was in the bottom warmer drawer. Here is what it says on one of the back pages, talking about the self-cleaning feature: “If the door latch finger should become positioned so as to prevent the oven door from closing completely, this condition can be corrected as follows: a. Make sure oven is cool. b. Open oven door, turn Oven Selector switch to CLEAN, push in oven door light switch button (switch is located at right top oven door opening) and hold button in for approximately 15 seconds. c. Next, turn Oven Selector to OFF and again push in the oven door switch for approximately 15 seconds. The latch finger, being motor driven, will rotate so the oven door may be properly closed.”

The E1- F5 error is a door lock error.

The control (TIMER) has likely failed in this instance - BUT...

Sometimes when you disconnect power to a range and reconnect it the electronic range control gets confused.
You should disconnect power again for 15 seconds and reconnect and see if that helps.

If it doesn't cure the E1- F5 error hold the bake button in until E0- F2 appears in the display.
This is the error for a stuck button on the keypad and is the way to clear the memory of the electronic range control.

Sometimes these work, but if the control has failed it won't make any difference.

Unplug the unit or shut off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes. Plug the unit back in or turn on the circuit breaker. Set the clock and gently try moving the door lock lever (is so equipped) or opening the door.
or
Set the self-clean cycle again and only allow it to work for 15 minutes. Cancel the self-clean cycle and allow the oven to cool. Gently try moving the door lock lever (is so equipped) or opening the door.
If these procedures fail to correct the condition, the lock must usually be accessed and moved manually to open the door.
Some model ovens require the oven door to be manually unlatched before the controls are returned to the OFF position or else the door may not be able to be unlocked. Check the owner's manual for proper operating procedures

I've seen this problem on my own oven. If yours, like mine, has a door that has a locking mechanism, the catch is most likely stuck in the locked position. The door still closes and the lever still moves (though it may be very stiff).
Take off the screws around the locking plate, manually push the catch to the open position, spray the catch VERY, VERY lightly with WD-40 and dry it thoroughly. Close the oven door and try the lever again.
At this point, it should move freely and your oven should be able to switch between LOCKED/Self-Clean Mode and UNLOCKED/Cook Mode. If it does still get stuck, you'll just has to a) try lubricating the catch a bit more or b) keep a screwdriver handy! ;)

Try turning the power off to the appliance for several minutes or un plugging it.

hold down the stop/clear button for 3+ seconds

I had the same problem. Open the oven door. Press and hold the light switch. You will hear the door lock move back into the correct position. Hope this fixes your problem. This has happened to me twice and holding the light switch always works.

I have a kenmore self cleaning oven. I Locked it
and have held the cleaning button for 3 secs and
returned the lock lever to unlocked position and the
locking lever in the inner of the oven door is still ingaged i have tryed to manually push the lock with a object you can feel it move over but the door still will not open. door will come out an inch.

I pressed the lock icon on the panel and held it for a few seconds and the display cleared.
