Hello Laurie, thank you for your post!
Based off what you have described your Electrolux wall oven will not start self-clean due to the oven stating the racks need to be removed. You may need to perform a reset on the oven to clear out the code. A reset can be done by disconnecting power from the oven for at least ten minutes this can usually be done by flipping the household circuit breaker off. If that does not help to correct the issue you may need to have a professional out to your home for a proper diagnosis and repair. -Matt

Push the racks all the way to the rear of the oven. Lift the rear of the rack to dislodge it from the side rail and pull it out.

Hello Cynthia,
Welcome to FixYa.
Is this the first time the un it has been set for self-clean ? Or is it the first time you have set it for self clean ?
The reason I ask is based on your post "The racks are removed. When I try to start the self cleaning feature - a message flashes in red to remove oven racks " I really don't think anything is wrong with your oven.
This is simply a reminder to remove your racks before the oven reaches the temperature ( usually above 550 ) which the door cannot be opened even by canceling the clean cycle until it cools down below 550...a safety measure.
If you allow the unit to proceed through the self clean the message will go away after a while and the cycle will continue on it's merry way.
Hope that answers your question or quells your concern. Those darn self clean ovens get so hot they will make your nice racks look like barbecue grills if left in during the cleaning, it is definitely better to be sure now than sorry later though, glad you asked.
Thank you for choosing FixYa. Let me know if you need any further assistance and good luck.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)

Hi,
I just did the self clean function today. They need you to remove the rack supports from each side of the oven cavity. Simply pull up on them to remove. When I did this the message was not displayed and the slef clean function started. Hope that helps.
