Electrolux Slide in Range will not go into self clean mode because of faulty switch

My oven does that when the self-clean button has been pressed. Try pushing any sort of power-off buttons or pushing any buttons that are lit up in attempt to turn them off. Older ovens have a lever you have to slide to lock and unlock the oven door.

If you replaced the entire lock assembly and it still does not work, the control board was originally at fault.
I assume there is no latching action when you call for self clean?
Double check you installation before you go buy a new control board.
Also check wire harness connection from new latch assembly to oven control board.

Hello Michael Anderson - From what you have described it sounds like the unit has faulty elements or could possibly be experiencing a wiring issue with the EOC. Try resetting the oven by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and if it proves to be ineffective contact a professional to move forward accurately to properly diagnose the unit.

If holding down the cancel/reset button for 15 seconds does not work, turn the household circuit breaker off to that appliance for 10 minutes. If the unit does not unlock itself you have either a faulty door latch/switch or control board miscommunication - contact a professional at that point.

either you have a blown internal fuse or an element wire shorted on inside back of unit

Phone agents and ask for workshops. Quote them the model and problem you have.

It's ridiculous why would you want to remove the racks in self cleaning mode you want to clean the racks also what good is self cleaning

I finally figured it out! The rack supports actually come out also. Not just the sliding supports, but the whole metal part with all the supports on it. At first I thought they were bolted in, but I read somewhere that they come out, too. Upon further investigation, I found the rack supports just slide into the side walls at 4 points. I had to use a little force to pull them out, but they came out and my oven is self-cleaning as I write this. I just thought I would share in case you or others haven't figured it out yet. Now I will just have to see how hard it is to get them back in....
