  1. Check all the screws behind the oven door gasket - in place and tight.
  2. Check that the door gasket is installed correctly and with all clips locked into place.
  3. Check the center hinge receiver, all screws are in place for the front chassis support
  4. Check the underside of the range below the center hinge receiver and make sure all 4 screws are tight and in place.
  5. Check that the door hinges are installed correctly & both mounting screws are secure.
  6. Check that the hinge retainers are closed and not blocked by the hinge cover.
  7. Check the top of door liner with a straight edge - make sure the liner is not bowed more than the width of a dime.
  8. Loosen the door panel top screws to a "relaxed" state. Open and close the door and retighten screws.
  9. Check the light/latch switch assembly - if out of position or stuck in incorrect position.
  10. If everything checks out, and oven light still stays on, replace hinges.

SOURCE: kitchenaid double oven shut down!

The problem is they overheat because hot air is drawn in by the blower and overheats the outer chamber of the oven where the thermo fuse link is. The one or two fuse links are blown simple replacement but have to remove oven (two person job) remove outer shell and find it (them) in the back of the oven. Also the fuse link wire going into the main processor is probably blown.

SOURCE: Oven locked so I can't shut door/operate oven

Thanks a million, solved the problem like a charm. For those that can't find it, it is on the left side orf the OVEN, not the stove. Once you open the door, you'll find it on the frame's upper left side corner, can't miss it. Good luck

Kenmore oven door will not unlock, it is an older model and i have lost the manual. i tried to activate the self clean but i couldn't remember how all that ended up happening is that the door has locked...

Look around the console area for a button that says push to unlock. If it is there push the button in while unlocking the door. Some models may require that you also place the stove into self clean then canceling it out thus enabling you to unlock the door. Without a model number off stove tho it is all just guess worjk as all stoves are not the same.

Elcectric self cleaning Kenmore oven directions needed

It was easier than I thought. I was watching the other postings scroll by and saw the answer, posted months ago, right in front of me. I was missing the last step...pushing the up arrow button.

My electric oven will not lock the door to have it self clean

The most likely problem is that the motor that drives the locking mechanism is defective.

Old Amana - no manual; can't operate self clean feature

Can you locate the model number on the oven? Also any particular name of the stove? The manufactured year. These should all be available on a stainless steel or aluminum attached plate , probably on the back of the stove or inside the door.
I wouldn't try using the self cleaning feature until we get some advice. it could lock up on you and not UNLOCK. Normally self cleaning takes place at 600 or more degrees .

I'm sure others still have the same stove., I will see what I can find for you.

Ge oven problem

Look for a microswitch connected to the lock mechanism at the back of the stove. The switch is probably broken.
