I have a Frigidaire self-cleaning gas oven that is 5 - 6 years old. Unfortunately, I've lost the paperwork and do not know the model number. For years I cleaned the oven manually and only used the self-cleaning option for the first time this past weekend. Unfortunately, when the cleaning cycle ended and the oven cooled down the oven door remained locked. The word "Locked" appears in red under the time in the time display window. The "Bake" and "Clean" functions are on the left of this disply and "Cancel" is on the right. Even though we have tried pushing "Cancel" and even repeating the "Clean" cycle the oven door remains locked.
Door lock motor has probably failed.....Self clean on many
ovens can be a self destruct mode. Door latch motors, sensor
probes and even the electronic controls can be destroyed by
this operation. On many freestanding stoves the lock motor is located in the right rear (looking from the front) with a long rod connected to the lock. remove the motor and unhook the rod from the motor cam. Sometimes bending a coat hangar into a hook and sliding from the right side into the lock you can unlock the door.
Good Afternoon friend, thanks for your inquiry!
To locate instructions regarding self-clean on your Frigidaire range I would need to have your model number. I have provided a link for you to use once you have your model number to locate any Use and Care Guides available on your current appliance. I hope this helps to some degree and if you need assistance please reach back out. -Matt
