What does the sign "control lock" mean?

This means that the Control Panel is locked. This feature is useful when you are cleaning the range/oven's top and control panel. It also keeps small children from doing any damage pressing buttons on the unit when unsupervised.

Unlocking the control panel often depends on the make/model. Some ovens have a control lock key. With the cooktop and oven off (use the Cancel/off button if needed), press and hold the control lock key for 3+ seconds until you hear the beep. This toggles the control panel lock. If you continue to press the button, it will go switch states again. (On a ~10 year old GE Profile range, the button is labeled Lock Controls. This is to the right of the display on the lowest line of keys.)

Some ovens may toggle the control lock by pressing and holding Start for 5+ seconds. Often, the control lock button or keypad combination will be indicated by a note in a much smaller font on the control panel. If two buttons need to be pressed simultaneously, there will be a line between them with a symbol in that line.

Please add a comment with the make and model of your range for more information.

The control panel lock has been engaged. This keeps the range from being used during cleaning; it also keeps young children or adults with dementia from turning on and ignoring the oven. For many Maytag double ovens, to engage or disengage the control panel lock, press and hold the upper oven Cancel keypad and then press and hold the Cook & Hold keypad button for 3+ seconds. The Lock message should be replaced by Off. Note: on some models, if the oven is in use, the control panel lock can't be disengaged. In that case, you need to shut off the power (at the circuit breaker) to the oven for at least one minute before restoring power. Then wait for the oven to cool (or at least one minute if the oven was cool to begin with) before attempting to disengage the control panel lock.

Please add a comment with the model number of your double oven if these directions do not work for you.

I hope this helps.

The likely problem is that the oven control panel is burned out.

The model is GGE350LWS00; the self-clean cycle selection is a bit different for this Whirlpool double oven range. Make sure that the oven isn't above 400F before starting the self-clean cycle. Close both oven doors. Press Precise Clean for the appropriate oven; only one oven can be cleaned at a time. For the upper oven, the button is next to the Toast button. The lower oven's Precise Clean is directly below the one for the upper oven. (If the oven doors are open, you will see Door. If the doors are not closed within thirty seconds, the Self-clean will be canceled.) Then press Presets (to the right of the zero button in the number pad) to select the type/ length of the cleaning cycle. You only need to press this once if the default Medium cleaning cycle is appropriate. Press Presets additional times if you need to cycle through to the Heavy or Light cleaning options. The cleaning cycle should start 4 seconds after you last press Presets. If the door locks do not properly engage, the self-clean cycle will be canceled. If the lock mechanism is broken or not getting the message from the control board, you may need check the lock, the wiring or control board to determine the source of the issue. See https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/gge350lws00/1198/0124111.html .

The DR error can mean that the door lock is enabled (or the oven believes it is). If the oven door was open and the Clean button was pressed, this can happen. Try pressing Cancel with the door closed. If the door is open, press the oven light button in and press Cancel. Try unplugging the oven (or flipping the circuit breaker to off) for a few minutes to reset the error.

If these don't help and the oven is not locked, then the control unit probably needs to be replaced. If you add a comment with the model of the oven, I may be able to direct you to the parts.

If your oven is still under warranty, contact Kenmore. I hope this helps.

Good Morning Anonymous, thank you for your post!

Based on the symptoms you are describing, it appears that your Frigidaire range is possibly locked. Typically, the "Door Locked" light will glow until the Self-Clean cycle has completed or the oven temperature has cooled. However, if the issue continues, please confirm that the Oven Control Lockout feature was not accidently selected (on some models). If so, you can cancel this feature by pressing CLEAR/OFF and hold for approximately 10 seconds. The control will unlock the oven door and resume normal operations.

If the instructions above do not solve the problem, may I please have your model number? The serial tag, which lists your model number, is typically located in the storage drawer, on the right side. With this information I can determine if your range is possibly experiencing other issues. Thank you - Z.

What is the model number of the unit? Look on the inside of the oven door for it. When you say "lockout" do you mean the door lock is on or is there a light on the control panel displaying a lock?

First press and hold the cancel/off button for 10 seconds.
If that does not work you have a bad thermal switch due to excessive heat buildup. Possibly a bad fan motor.
The 2 thermal switches are located on top of the oven behind the control panel.

you should be able to simply hold down the contro lock button for 3-5 secs, and it shoudl unlock for you

Try pressing STOP/CLEAR, then pressing in and holding the door switch plunger for 6 seconds on the upper right hand corner of the door.
