Self cleaning oven door lock in locked position with door open and keeps beeping and not self cleaning. Only way to stop beeping is to turn off circuit breaker. Help!
Sears Parts Direct has the manual for the Kenmore 790.45062401 here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/manual/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range . Usually when a range beeps continuously, there is a communication problem between the key pad and the control board. It could indicate a short or a stuck key. That's part 20 on the backguard diagram: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range-parts .
Since you indicate that the door lock has been triggered with the door open, try pressing the Stop/Clear button. (Note: holding the Stop/Clear button will trigger the control panel lock.) If that doesn't return the lock to the normal position, you probably have a fault in the lock mechanism. See parts 88 and on the body diagram: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/69n6jkqbeh-000582/kenmore-79045062401-electric-range-parts?page=3 . You can try to turn the latching rod by accessing the lock mechanism from the back of the range. (Unplug or turn the range off at the circuit breaker.) Since the lock mechanism gets a signal from the control board, check your wiring for damage. If needed, replace the lock or wiring.
I hope this helps. If your range is covered by a warranty, contact Sears/Kenmore or your extended warranty company.

My oven door stays locked , when I press the clear button I get F1?
I hold the clear button for a few seconds and still nothing.
Please,
Thank You

Same problems. When I removed the lock operating arm nothing happened. Motor is not operating. I've temporarily kluged it by tying the "unlock" (upper) switch circuit together and disconnecting one side of the power to the "locked" (lower) switch. At least we'll have an oven to use, but I'll have to come back and remove the lock motor assembly to find out what's really wrong.
BTW, if some knows those keyed-in service codes they could be useful.

I used the self cleaning mode for 2 hours and the error f2 keeps flashing and beeping, I did try to power off with the breaker and left it off for about a half hour and it still continues to beep and flash f2, what should I do?

The oven door lock needs approximately 1 hour to cool down before the oven door can be opened after a self cleaning cycle has finished. If the lock does not open after the oven has cooled down, you can try....1) Unplugging the range or shut off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes. Plug the range back in or turn on the circuit breaker. Set the clock and try moving the door lock lever or opening the door. 2) Set the self-clean cycle again and only allow it to work for 15 minutes. Cancel the self-clean cycle and allow the oven to cool. Gently try moving the door lock lever or opening the door.
Most ranges today use 3 different types of door locks...one is a solenoid controlled lock ( you hear a loud buzz noise when setting or unlocking the lock and has a arm that you must move to set the lock )...another is a heat sensitive lock ( has a arm that you must move to lock and un-lock, makes no noises and has a spring that slowly moves to lock the door will the oven is heating up )...Some locks are motorized ( no handle to move, the motor locks the door by it's self when you set the range for self clean )... If the motorized and heat sensitive locks fails to open after the self clean cycle, you must access the lock and move it yourself to open the door. On the free standing ranges, most times you must lift the cook top to access the lock mechanism. On built in ovens, the oven must be pulled out to remove the top access panel to get at the lock mechanism. Some build in ovens can have the control console removed to access the lock system. On the heat sensitive style of lock, there are no electrical parts to operate the lock, usually you will need to replace the lock. On the motorized style of lock, you will have to use a ohm/volt meter to test why the motor will not work. On the solenoid style of lock, the solenoid is often mounted on the back of the range and can be accessed by removing the rear panel, some may be mounted at the front, such as in a built in oven. The failure of the solenoid style of lock is normally caused by a bad lock solenoid. In order to get your door open, you must operate the door latch mechanism manually. Unplug or remove power from the range. Take the rear cover off the range. Locate the door latch assembly and operate it manually and open your door. Then check continuity of the solenoid. Some of the latch assemblies have micro switches to supply power also. You may need to check them. You should be able to get the door open and use your range until you can get a tech to repair if you can not repair yourself.
If you've interrupted the clean cycle or have accidentally set the clean cycle with the oven door open, the latch may have engaged and now the door can't be closed because it will hit the latch. There may be a door activated* switch on the front face of the oven. In this case you may need to manually press that door switch with your finger while at the same time canceling the clean cycle to get the latch to retract so the door can close fully again.
