Frigidaire---oven door locks.

I tried to lock the oven door the other day, and tugged on it to see if it was locked yet while the door lock light was flashing and it locked while the door was open. Now the lock light is still on and the door opens, but the oven won't turn on now. How do i fix this issue?

On my Frigidaire electric range with flat screen front controls, when the "Clean" control was accidentally pushed and the door locked, I could not unlock the door by cutting power, by running the clean mode for 30 seconds then pushing "Clear", or by hitting any button. What opened the door was holding down the "Clear" button for 30 seconds until the range started beeping and code "F11" read on the led. This worked. Good luck with yours.

I tried the door switch routine, and I tried turning the breaker off for an hour - no luck.
With power on, the stove was making a "rattling" sound, as it tried to unlatch, but couldn't.
With the breaker on, I tapped the door latch with a hammer (lightly!) to the left. It slowly moved to the left, and the "door locked" light went out.
BAD DESIGN!
But at least I can cook for 8 on Saturday.

Oven is stuck in lock mode

Hi Lora, this is AP!

Based on the description of the Frigidaire electric range provided it appears the door lock feature has been activated. In order to cancel the Oven Lockout feature, press clear off and hold for 3 seconds. The control will unlock the oven door and resume normal operation.

This door lock feature is activated by pressing clear off and holding for 3 seconds. "Loc" will appear in the display, the "Door Locked" indicator light will flash and the motor driven door lock will begin to close automatically. Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock. Once the oven door is locked, the current time of day will appear in the display. If any control pad is pressed with the oven lockout feature active, "Loc" will appear in the display until the control pad is released.

This information is also located in the owner's manual should you like to view it again, you may retrieve a manual using your model# and the following link http://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Product-Support-Manuals/.

I hope this information helps to some degree - thanks for your question, and please do not hesitate to reconnect.

How does the self-clean feature work on a Frigidaire CFEF366EMB model?

Hi Beverly,

I understand that you are looking to run your self-clean feature on your Frigidaire range, model# CFEF366EMB.

-To start this you will remove all racks and make sure that any excessive spillovers are cleaned up as best as you can.
-Next you will press the "Clean" button, and the display will show "---".
-Press the up or down arrows to select the length of time you want the oven to clean. Usually 2 or 3 hours.
-The door will automatically lock once your time has been chosen and the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing. (it takes about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock).
-"Cln" will appear in the display during the self-clean cycle and the "LOCK" light will continue to glow until the self-cleaning cycle is complete or cancelled and the oven has cooled.

When the self-clean cycle has completed:
-The time of day or "END" will appear in the display window and the "Clean" and "LOCK" light will continue to glow.
-Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
-If "END" is in the display and the Clean indicator light remains ON, press the "CLEAR/OFF" button and the time of day will appear on the display.
-When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

-Best Regards-

Sounds like you bent the door where the lock is. You might have to replace the door.

Frigidaire Wall Oven does not open once hot

Well at least I seem to have solved it. I kept hitting clear off and tugged on the door and it finally opened. Once opened I noticed there is a metal hook at the top of the opening to the oven. Mine was rotated to the 9 o'clock position. I took a pair of pliers and rotated it until the open part of the hook was in the 12 o'clock position and tugged outward on it just a bit and the "door locked" signal went off. I hit clear off again and the beeping has not resumed. I'm thinking the hook got partially stuck in the wrong position after it automatically locked the door for cleaning.

Waiting for the oven to completely cool off before I close the door again.

Hope this helps someone else out there!
