Unplug the unit, then manually depress and hold the light switch on the frame of the unit while plugging it back in. The lock should go back into the proper position.

I had a similar problem. Turned out that the locking road hung up and the motor wasn't powerful enough to move it. So I removed the two screws that hold down the cooktop and freed up the locking rod. Then I turned the range back on with the door open, but holding in the door switch as if it were closed. the lock then completed its locking cycle. Then I was good to go. Hope this helps somebody else.
Try this first:
Turn off power to unit.
Open the door.
Turn power back on.
Hold in on door switch until lock cycles to unlock.
If this doesn't work then the door lock motor may need to be replaced.
Try holding in on the door switch and starting a clean cycle. Let the latch rotate around and the cycle start, then cancel the cycle and the latch should rotate to the unlocked position. You will have to keep the door switch pressed during all of these steps.
Post back and let me know what happens.
If you will post the complete model number from the range I can probably tell you how to manualy move the door latch and check the components.
The most common problem on the frigidaire ovens is the door switch failing.

Pull the range out and unplug it. Remove the rear panel and you will see the door latch motor mounted to the rear of the oven.
Try turning the motor manually to unlock the door. You may have to take the motor loose and unhook the rod that goes to the latch at the front.
You should find a tech sheet on the back of the oven that will tell you how to check the lock circuit. I usually find the door switch to be the proplem but it could be the motor or oven control.

Just wanted to see if you were able to get the door latch back in place.
Thanks/Mike
F3 is the code for a failed temperature sensor. Either the sensor is bad or the control is not reading the resistence properly. Make sure the wire connector to the sensor at the rear of the oven is plugged in properly. If so you probably need a new sensor.
Pull the drawer completely out of the stove and see if there is a tech sheet stuck to the inside of one of the side panels.
You can go to sears.com, click on parts, enter your model number, and you can see a wiring diagram along with a parts list for the stove.

I appreciate your post, friend!
Based off the information you have provided the door on your Frigidaire range will not unlock. I would suggest performing a reset on your range and you can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off for roughly ten minutes. If that does not work you can attempt to start another clean cycle and right before it starts press the cancel button. If neither trouble shooting step unlocks the door your latch may be broken. I would then recommend having a professional technician perform a diagnosis and repair. I hope this helps. -Matt
Good Morning Kay Warren, I appreciate your post!
Based off the information you have provided the door on your Frigidaire range is locked and will not open. If you look on your control panel you should see a clear or cancel button, hold that down for three to five seconds. This should unlock your door. If this does not unlock the door you can attempt to perform a reset. You can do this by disconnecting the power from your range for ten minutes. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

the model is FEF376CJSA if you need anything else let me know. Oh it is a frigidaire gallery if that helps any.
There wasn't a tech sheet on the back panel. But now the oven isn't working it keeps coming up with F3. We tried to turn the lock motor by hand and it wont move. The clean cycle will not come on either now.
plgfz390ecf is the product number, the door will open but remain locked
