I startred a self-cleaning cycle on a frigidaire stove but I pulled on the oven door accidently before it locked shut and now it won't shut because the lock is stuck closed. I get a flashing lock light and a "dr" code on the panel when I try to set self-cleaning cycle again.
Push in on the oven light switch and hit clean then cancel you have to hold the oven light switch thats what tells the eoc the door is closed if this dont work reply to me
Ypou are a lifesaver - Thankyou
I have tried every possible configuration, push light, clean, clear/off both seperate, I dont know what else to do. My mother in law said in just went to clean mode and the door lock while it is open. any other ideas would be great thank you

I called Frigiare. They said the same thing Press oven light switch - located in upper left corner of the front of the oven - and while holding it down press "Clear/OFF" button on the control. I have model # FEF352
Generally this helped me with my Frigidaire gas stove. I found I had to actually start the clean cycle so the lock begins to actuate, then hit cancel. I waited for the lock to return and everything seemed to be back to normal. After a couple of minutes the dr came up again. I repeated the cycle. After 5 minutes now it seems ok. thank you.
Thank You!!! It worked!!!

On the upper left side of a GE stove there is a button that the door pushes in when it is closed. Push that button in and hold it, then press cancle. Hold these positions for a few seconds and you will hear the door operating. This should fix the problem.
Wow! Thanks so much tech17 for your help. For some reason I wasn't sure what you meant by oven light switch? Thinking it was the oven switch on top of the stove! Thank you again for your help ! Really ~~ I 've been flat broke and calling on Sears for 65. an hour hasn't been an option so have been without the oven for about a week now. Magically your words helped and the door now closes as well as the oven works once again ! Yay ! 100 stars go out to you ! Thank you so much !
I hit oven clean button by accident, trying to cancel, but is stuck on lock, but not cleaning ??
What is the procedure to get the self cleaning oven to work ?
Have tried every combination possible ?
It is a Frigidaire... Model #CFEF388JEB1

Wow ! You are fantastic your helpful hint made my day, No need to call service dept.
I saved at least $70.00

My stove isn't locking to self clean, it keeps saying CLN for 30 seconds and the I get this DR beep code on my stove and it's not making it self clean is there a motor for the lock to engage. I sprayed some wd40 and loosened up the lock but it still doesn't lock to clean please help
I am having the same problem except I did not pull on the door too early.
It's just now that the cleaning is done.
The door will not open and the lock light is still blinking.
Can't get the oven door open.
Must be that the door is smarter than the operator huh?
The light button worked perfectly for this thank you everyone who posted solutions for not only this situation but any questions people have. It's very helpful especially when you can't afford to get it looked at let alone replaced. Thank you. God bless
I pushed the clean button on my kenmore oven, the door wasn't closed and the lock came out, not I can not close the oven nor get the lock light to stop flashing. What can I do?
Just wanted to say THANKS to Tech 17, I turned on the cleaning and forgot to shut the door first and it locked and I could not shut the door. I did what you said I pushed the oven light to turn off and held it for about 10 seconds and the lock let go and now I can shut my oven. Thanks I was very frustrated and calling the help line did nothing.
This helped me. I didn't know where my light switch on the stove was. Until I read the part about on the left and I started looking on the left, in the inside then when I found it. It worked. I'm so happy it's fixed :-)
Thank you tech17. It worked! My husband repeated your instructions just a couple of times and bingo - it unlocked. Thank you very much!
I have a Frididaire Self-Cleaning oven (electric), and I canceled lock by pushing in actuator button on inner left door panel (not the door itself). It makes a clicking noise, then release then push it in again... Then it should be canceled.
Hope that helps.

Well i tryed the oven light switch solution, and it didnt work. I attepmted the brute force solution and that didnt work either, but as i was on the verge of breaking the lock off i noticed 2 screws on both sides of the lock. I took a phillips head screw driver and turn the screws a bits to adjust the lock and it worked... the oven made a sound for less then a min. and the flashing lock button turned off, and everything went back 2 normal.

I am having the same problem, but the oven light solution did not work. My oven finished the self-cleaning cycle but the lock light kept flashing for 12 more hours. I finally hit cancel and it kept flashing. I tried to open the door and it opened but the lock is still latched (and the light is still flashing).
I punched in the button to clean my oven and suddenly realized I did not remove the racks. I jerked the door open, removed the racks and then the door would not close. I turned off the breaker, waited for the oven to cool off and turned it on again. Still the door would not close. Finally a friend came over and pushed the button on the left (which turns off the light). The stove seemed to cycle a little and then the flashing lock light went out.
My oven door on my Frigidare self-cleaning oven will not unlick. The lock light is flashing. I ran it through the clean cycle again and it still will not unlock. When I push any button the 'dr' letters appear. I have uplugged the stove and the light still flashes when I re plug it.
code dr flashes. The oven door will not shut
I already posted, but I noticed I don't have a oven light switch on my stove. It is simply Oven, broil, Cancel and clean.
I have the same problem - I was actually physically cleaning my oven and must have hit the clean button and the oven locked with the door being open. Â So now my oven door is open but the locked door is flashing and my oven door will not shut. Â I have tried everything everyone has suggested and it still won't shut??

Followed directions on self-cleaning for my stove & after 2 hrs. I noticed 2 straight burned lines on upper door of my oven. How can you help me.
don't know where the pilot is

when I use the oven for cooking the oven door will lock by its self. I then have to unplug the stove to get the oven door to unlock
how to lock
why does the self cleaning light on my electric stove stay on all the time
My Frigidaire oven is locked and wont unlock. I get the dr error and the light blinks and beeps. After awhile f9 error appears and beeps steadily. I can silence it by hitting clear but then it goes back to dr and repeats everything. I was putting it on clean and thought the lock was not engaged so I pulled on the door a little and that when it started. Its like the lock is not engaged properly and cant let go now. I have to shut it off with the breaker and when I turn it on again the clock goes back to 12:00 blinking. cfef372cs2
