GE Electric Double Oven Door Will Not Unlock

I was going to use the self-cleaning feature for the first time - door would not lock, cleaning cycle did not begin, tried to set again - door locked, cleaning cycle did not begin, but now I can't get the door open (tried turning off the circuit breaker) Help!!! GE model JKP86BOF3BB Thank you

    I have the same problem. The lower oven locked light keeps blinking and the door is locked. It started when I used the self cleaning feature. Its been over 24 hours and still cant open the oven. The manual says that it will open when it is cool, I would have thought that 24hours would be enough. Help.

Oven door remains locked after self clean cycle - but the oven has cooled

Number one Tip, NEVER use self cleaning cycles. They only exist to break ovens and sell parts.

Try disconnecting the mains after about 10 minutes of cool down time. If that doesn't work, you will need a service call to correctly diagnose if the lock solenoid has failed or you need a new control board.

F9 error code appears within two hours of self clean cycle

F9 error code on GE ovens is usually caused by a problem in the door lock/latch system for the self clean. You state it happens about 2 hrs into the clean cycle. My guess is the the control is not sensing that the door is actually locked. Could be several reasons. Bad door lock motor, Bad switch that senses the door is latched, or is some cases the main control board could have a problem and is just not reading the door is locked. You need someone with the right knowledge to trouble shoot which part is actually bad since it could several different problems.
