The oven door is locked after pushing clean button.

The oven does not work but have been storing things in it. The clean button was push and is locked and will not open. Is there any way to jimmy or force the door open with buying parts.

Flip the breaker going to the oven and it will release.

Testimonial: "Are you talking about a breaker on the stove itself? If so where is it located? This is a second hand stove and I don't have a owner manual."

    No, the one that goes to the stove in the household breaker box panel, it should be labeled. Flip that one off for a few minutes and then flip it back on and it should un-lock.

Gas range oven door with not open

Your self cleaning cycle is running. When self cleaning is running the door is automatically locked and will not unlock until the self cleaning cycle completes or self cleaning is turned off. You should be able to just turn off the self cleaning cycle and the door will unlock. Do not try to pry open the oven door. You will just damage the door and/or the catch.

I have a tappan self cleaning stove. I push the clean button and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong

Some have a "lock" switch that locks the door from opening. Most are located on the front of the oven door top. Moves over in the lock position, then hit the button. Hope that works

Gibson oven door is locked after attempting to do self-cleaning.

Unplug it. Plug it back in, then press n hold start. Make sure lock handle is all the way locked. You may have to push on the door at same time while locking n unlocking. If that doesn't work, shoot it. Ha

Closed door, pushed clean button, but door lock button keeps flashing and door won't lock.

Hello there and welcome to Fixya
This is a fairly common problem with self cleaning ovens
The problem normally is that the user has interrupted the clean cycle and the door is locked by default or the door lock assy has failed all together .
Now here is the thing these ovens have a built in memory module that stores a number of commands that the user has input in it like self clean or broil ect.ect so what you will have to do is to clear the memory and it is done like this.
First unplug the oven and do not touch it leave it sit for a minimum of 1 hour this will reset the memory module
Now only after the hour is up plug in the oven and you may hear a beep ora click if so great wait a few min then you can press the cancel button then try to open the door again.

Hit clean button while oven door was open. now door will not shut and stove doesn't work.

I had the same problem . I opened the door after pushing the clean button.
The locking bar was sticking out and when I tryed to shut the door the bar struck the door approxmately 1/8'' past the right side of the locking slot in the door ,
I finally used a screw diver to pry the locking bar back about 1/16" I then lifted on the left side of the door handle forcing the door to the right I then I was able to pushed the door closed with my right knee. After I got it shut I pushed the clean button and set it on 3 hrs. At the end of the cycle and the cool down time the locking bar retracted and the door opened . Ever thing is back to normal.

Kenmore Oven Door Lock Stuck Out

We had this same problem. We found that pushing the censor button/switch on the upper left rim of the oven's inside moved the lock and made it capable to unlock, or purchase a pizza pizzaz.

Self cleaning oven will not start for cleaning door lock problem

hi alot of people have been having this same problem with either the door locking before clean cycle and not opening or it goes through clean cycle and then the door is stuck shut and wont open.
You could try this it sometimes works before you press start push the door shut and keep pressure on it i mean lean on the door so your pushing it shut further than it is now then whilst putting pressure on the door try pressing start button again if it then starts cleaning cycle keep pushing door for about a minute then gently let go of the door.
This should then allow it to go through clean cycle but remember when clean cycle has finished dont try opening the door strait away as you will then have the problem door stuck and wont open you need to let the oven cool down before the door will open.
If after pushing the door shut a bit further you still have problem then the only thing you can try is switching off at mains for 24 hours this should release the lock let me know how you get on ok
