Over the years, have replaced melted fuses due to self cleaning mode and also replaced mother board due to cleaning mode. I do not use that mode anymore. Now when baking in upper oven, the lower oven door keeps locking and unlocking during cooking period. The lower oven is not on at the time. What do I do? Is it time to replace the oven?

Please double check that the oven is not still on cleaning mode. Also, please check the fuse(s) that your oven depends on to make sure that have not turned off or haven't blown unexpectedly.
Bullet fuse to control panel Melted due to excessive heat from self clean mode. Just a guess> Typical fuse: I have a manual around here somewhere Oh yeah in my TIP
Hello - we have had this same issue a number of times as well. Do you lose all power on the unit too? We do - have discovered that using the self-cleaning isn't really a good idea with these ovens. The ovens aren't really made to heat to such high heats that are used in the cleaning cycle and during that last hour of cleaning it hits it highest peak - and it blows it's fuses. We recently blew 2 fuses at the same time, locking both doors (Double oven) and knocking out the power for the entire unit. Our repair man said that the average on wall ovens is anywhere between 6 - 12 cleanings before you will blow the same fuses and the whole cycle starts all over again. Our expense was $350. So, self-cleaning now means elbow grease around this house. How this information was a bit helpful for you.
I had the same problem with a Superba wall oven. In my case, the bracket mount for the door lock warped due to the heat of the self clean cycle. We were able to open the door by inserting a coat hanger into the slight opening at the top of the door and sliding the lock lever to the left. It was a pretty easy self-repair -
1) turn off breaker
2) slide oven out 2-3"
3) remove oven front trim pieces
4) remove screws that mount control panel
5) this should give you access to the door lock mechanism.
good luck
you have to first remove the side trim there should be some screws in the side usaly 2 but sometimes 4 ---you could have replaced just the fuse for less than 20 dollers
Remove the oven from the wall. Remove the rear panel. The upper and lower ovens have a non-resettable thermal fuse that has blown. Use a VOM to verify which fuse. After repair use Easy Off, not self clean.
