This is the second time we ran the self cleaning cycle. The first time it blew out the electronic control circuit panel. This was within the first year we had it. Afraid to run it again, we have been cleaning by hand - an arduous task to say the least. On Saturday, sick and tired of cleaning the oven by hand, I decided to run the self cleaning cycle being that it is a feature on an expensive oven that I should be able to use. Well, it no longer works AGAIN. It is no longer under warranty and I'm extremely unhappy with this product. What can we do?

This suggests pressing the button a second time. You could also try leaving the breaker overnight in the hope it loses the clean command in its memory.
Using the Self Cleaning always breaks ovens. We see it here all the time. It superheats the oven to 700' and overheats electronics, breaks door switches/locks and burns out elements and fans. It could also be sensor related.
You need a service call from someone who has experience with that model. Control boards and touchscreens are expensive to replace on a hunch.
The model is GGE350LWS00; the self-clean cycle selection is a bit different for this Whirlpool double oven range. Make sure that the oven isn't above 400F before starting the self-clean cycle. Close both oven doors. Press Precise Clean for the appropriate oven; only one oven can be cleaned at a time. For the upper oven, the button is next to the Toast button. The lower oven's Precise Clean is directly below the one for the upper oven. (If the oven doors are open, you will see Door. If the doors are not closed within thirty seconds, the Self-clean will be canceled.) Then press Presets (to the right of the zero button in the number pad) to select the type/ length of the cleaning cycle. You only need to press this once if the default Medium cleaning cycle is appropriate. Press Presets additional times if you need to cycle through to the Heavy or Light cleaning options. The cleaning cycle should start 4 seconds after you last press Presets. If the door locks do not properly engage, the self-clean cycle will be canceled. If the lock mechanism is broken or not getting the message from the control board, you may need check the lock, the wiring or control board to determine the source of the issue.

Whirlpools are notorious for tripping the thermal fuse on the back of the oven but there is a thermal fuse to the control board also on most electronic control models. It is a good chance you will need to replace both fuses.
You have a bad fan and your probably blew the high-limit in the back of the unit. If this is a built in oven, it's not an extremely simple fix. If it's a stand alone range, you probably broke a heating element during the clean. If its gas, you would have a bad ignitor.
Hi- The automatic door lock is a safety feature designed to prevent opening of oven door during 'self-clean', or as techs call it: 'self-destruct'. A previous full-power cycle has affected or destroyed a circuit or switch. The most common failures are the door switch, affecting the operation of door motor, or the control itself. - - -Start by replacing the door switch- available locally at an app. parts store. The electronic controls can also get 'cooked', causing a variety of faults, but these controls are expensive.------ On site diagnostics is needed many times. Remember---'self-clean' destroys circuits and controls eventually--every time. Don't let the salesman fool ya... Let me know if this info helps- have more if needed. Thanks- Ed
HI. Your unit is programed to shutdown the self cleaning cycle if there is a problem sensed, within the door lock circuit. This fault will require you to inspect the door lock mechanism for separated wire connections, or a faulty circuit. The door Lockmechanism is located, just below the front section of the unit, where the control pad is located, or under the cook top hood, on a free standing unit. Use the procedure below to confirm the damage ot the circuit.
Before repairs or further testing can begin you must disconnect the electricity at the fuse panel, at the circuit breaker panel, or by pulling the plug. Make sure the power is off before proceeding. Set the latch to the "clean" position and test for circuit continuity at the terminals of the switch with your VOM's ohmmeter function. If there is no continuity, the switch is faulty. Use caution when testing.
Almost every time I run the SELF CLEAN cycle on my Whirlpool Self Cleaning range, it fails to function after completing the self clean cycle, even though it completes the cycle of cleaning and unlocks the door. What I do to solve the problem, I power off the BREAKER for the range at the main electrical panel in the house and wait 30 seconds, then power on....and the whole system works just fine until the next time I clean it. This has been a problem from the beginning. My theory is that the electronics get heated up and, like a computer, the system stalls out and needs a complete hard reboot. Good luck!
I have the the same problem as discribed above. Does you oven fan go on for a long time after you use your oven during regular baking. Mine seems to stay on for 45 minutes after I bake anything. Can this be all tied together with the f2 problem? I am wondering if it is not just a fan circulation problem?
