Hay wendy , tech sheet says to replace oven temperature sensor , ( make sure the fans are running properly ,good luck APPLIANCES R EN

This isn't what your looking for, but please read this. I've been a technician since 2001, and I wrote this based strictly from seeing it first hand,
The oven temperature is regulated by a temperature sensor when placed in self clean the sensor is removed from the circuit and full power is applied to both the bake and broil elements causing an the temperature to exceed in some some models up to 1,000 F. I would recommend against using self clean for the simple fact that no oven cavity to this date has been designed to withstand that high of a temperature and therefore excess heat is passed upward resulting in damaged lock mechanisms, control boards, and other electronic components. The most common complaint I have had with built in ovens besides the element burning out, is the oven door locked shut. When I get to the house and I ask to tell me a little bit of whats going on the story always starts " well, I was using the self clean option" or some variation of the sort.

if the door is unlocked then clean all the grease and let go, if the oven is still locked then get a tech down to your house to have it unlocked since its not safe to have it run again with greaase

most likely your latch assembly on unit has failed.... try resetting breaker to unit and make sure latch is not half opened or half closed while breaker is off... after checking reset breaker and see if this helps if not then probley going to need a new latch assembly and or possibly the control on unit... self clean on all ranges and ovens are trouble in my opinion they get entirely to hot and usually are ran to long... i know you said yours didn't work leads me to believe there may have already been damage to one of the pcb relays on the control but try the above first and you may luck out.... good luck to you

Hi,

Before you go working too hard to get you oven to go into the self clean mode(self destruct)....check out this tip...

Self Cleaning Oven Problem

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!

Start time should be set to current time of day (according to the clock on the stove) and the stop time should be set for at least two hours later. This will allow the timed oven feature to work for the self clean option.
***Keep in mind that if the clock does not work you will have to shut the oven off yourself after the two hours is up!!***
Good Luck!

Unplug The Stove From The Power Source For A Minute Then Plug It Back In. Then Check it Again

That's fairly typical but I would suggest removing the shelves and cleaning those with oven cleaner if they need it at all. Expect the door to remain locked for additional hours for safety.
The temperature rises to > 900 degrees F and is necessary to start the catalytic process that consumes the crud.
Sorry I didn't see your message earlier-

Here are the codes for magic chef:

F1 1. Watchdog on board
2. Touch membrane defective To determine which component is at fault, disconnect ribbon strip. If NO fault code, replace membrane, otherwise replace board F2 Oven too hot Check oven temperature sensor F3 F4 Open or shorted oven temperature sensor Replace F5 Hardware and watchdog circuits disagree Replace clock assembly (also called the ERC) F6 Missing AC signal Replace clock assembly (also called the ERC) F7 Function key shorted Replace touch pad F8 Analog/Digital converter Replace clock assembly (also called the ERC) F9 Door latch Check door lock circuit F10 Function key stuck Replace touch pad

check the door latch it must be opened completely if not then it will display DOOR if it is open all the way then checkthe switch on the latch assby for proper operation
