I have a kitcheaid gas range. just used the quick, self-cleaning cycle/2 hrs. 30 mins./went out came back no display and door will not open/

It has a safety that will not allow the door to open while the temperature is high in the oven. oven temps can reach 700 degrees during the self clean cycle. allow the unit to cool completely and see if it works then. if not, let us know.

Hi,

Seems like you found out the hard way what I wrote about in this tip...

Asker's Testimonial " Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!! " - amymrocks

Hi .The oven door will not unlock until it cools down despite the cycle being finished.If it has not opened in a maximum of 1 or 2 hrs then oven sensor failed during self clean cycle and will have to be replaced.Try restarting self clean to unlock door .If not you will have to do the old coat hanger trick or manually move the lock mech. from rear,sensor cost $30-40.Hop this helps .Please rate my response :)

Typical oven self clean cycle is 3 hours. Oven needs to cool down to under 550 degrees before door will unlock. Download a use and care manual at http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/literature/

Happens alot dont feel bad , self clean mode runs the elements at 500 deg. to cook off everything possible , what happens is the cabinet gets to hot and heats saftey temp. fuses until they go out and they are not resetable. they are always located in different areas of ranges but usaully in the back. you can ohm them out to check them if you have a meter.let me know if you have any other questions.

The latch wouldn't go all of the way over. I pushed it over until the blinking light went off. The latch doesn't seem to catch but I did get it to work. Thank you for your help though.

The thermal switch was bad. I removed the sheet metal back from the oven and there is a small round part with two wires one on each side. You replace it and bingo the door will open and display will come back on. If you do not have he part you can touch the two wire together and the stove will unlock.

Of course - Empty the oven and clear off around it.
