Kenmore Oven Door Lock Override

Wait about 15 seconds for the door to finish unlocking.

Kenmore oven door lock override.

Program your frigidaire oven to self clean. It has an automatic lock when the power goes out. If your oven door is locked open press and hold down the light switch while you continue to work through the process of cancelling the lock on the door. Wait at least 20 seconds before you cancel the self clean setting on the oven.

It may be something like pressing the clock button and the clear off button at the same time for 10 seconds or holding down on the child lock button for 30 seconds. Press the clear or cancel button if you have an electronic oven. Every brand of oven is slightly different but many have a process that will reset the oven s computer panel and trigger the oven door to unlock. I have kenmore gas range model number 665 75849.

Once you see the time of day displayed on the screen you can open the oven door. Unlocking the oven requires electricity to use the oven button. Clear the lock mechanism as indicated by the door loc light by pressing and holding in the oven door light switch for 20 to 30 seconds. Modern kenmore ovens have a motorized lock that doesn t shut off automatically.

Instead of trying to open it check the display panel again. Set the oven to self clean. Things get a little more frustrating if a locked oven door is coming between you and your dinner. Again wait for at least another 20 seconds.

It will change once the door finishes unlocking. If your oven is manual turn all the dials and knobs to their off position. While the switch is depressed the latch motor will.
