The F10 error code indicates a runaway temperature condition. If your oven is overheating, unplug the power cord for a few minutes. When plugged back in if the oven is still overheating, you will need to have the temp sensor & control checked.

Set the self clean function to run for a couple of hours then let it cool all the way down to see if the lock will release.

Can't be sure as to the exact age of the appliance, but I can tell you that it's old enough that there are no parts or schematics available for it.

Your range was actually built by Whirlpool. the first 3 digits of the serial number determine who it was manufactured by.
It's possible that a battery somewhere is running low. This battery would be for the clock and timer.
See if you can find the service sticker and find the model nnumber - it would most likely be a couple of letters and some numbers. If you're from the US, you may be able to find a manual here: http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search.jsp
If you're from the UK, it'll be here:

Good luck!

I have a Kenmore oven Clock…( built in the wall)
Thanks Charlie…you are a Genius!!!!

if you mean on a whirpool washer it is the door connection circuit. Try banging the door on the right to manually unlock it. Once open check that the hook is aligned with the door lock. If you have switched the machine off then all the lights may have gone off. Leave for 20 minutes then switch back on and hold the reset button for at least three seconds. If this works and lights come back on try a speed wash to check every thing is okay.Sometimes if the machine has been knocked or the door not closed correctly this will happen.
