The Self Cleaning cycle should NEVER be used. It will break the oven once you have used it a few times. It also burns out elements, fans, electronic control boards and LATCHES. The 650'F heat is just too hostile. You need a service engineer to remove the oven and replace the latch.
Please always include full MAKE and MODEL in ALL questions. Two weeks ago we had a similar issue with an oven that had a manual sliding latch. I found the manual for it, and a parts schematic.
Self cleaning works by running the oven at full temp for a set period of time (1/2 hour should do, but don't leave it unattended) Will probably smell a bit as well when doing so.
Whirlpool have the self clean latch assembly solenoid go bad and wont return back to unlock the switch to tell the control is is no longer in self clean. Replace the self clean latch assembly or make sure the switch on the assembly is in the non self clean mode, If the oven starts working then you know the problem if it still doesn't work then there may be other issues.
The problem is due to the door latch and specially one of the two micro switches is not contact properly that is why when you cracked little the oven can work little better. So all you need is check the latch at the back and if nessesary replace the latch
(do not delete)
Also you can find a new latch at the links and here
The F5E1 error codes means that the door light switch OR a switch on the self clean latch has failed. If the oven light comes on and goes off when the door is opened and closed it most likely going to be a switch on the latch thats the problem.
try wiggling the door latch to get it open if not try the cleaning process, if that works, and see if the door comes unlatched and the light goes off. if not the lock light switch is stuck and it will need to be taken apart and cleaned
I have a Whirlpool MOD. RBS275PDB17 single electric self-cleaning oven; although the manual is generic, it specifies, "When the cycle is completed and the oven cools, "End" will appear on the lower oven display and "LOCKED' will disappear" and "To Stop Self-Clean any time: Press UPPER/OFF, LOWER/OFF or OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools." Has your oven had time to cool?
