Frigidaire Range Lock Stuck with door open

[MoonsOfJupiter]

I have a Frigidaire Electric Range FEF365BGWC. It came with the house two years ago and we were told it was two years old then. (So its 4yo.)

While cooking today, after one hour at 375 degrees I opened the door to check the food. I closed the door and left the kitchen. Nobody else is in the house.

When I returned 30 minutes later to give another stir, I noticed the temperature was much cooler. Checking the display, the bake light was out and the time of day was displayed. Also the LOCK light was blinking green.

I checked the lock and, with the door open, the lock latch was in the locked position, preventing the door from shutting.

Pressing any cooking button on the control panel shows a "dr" on the display (presumably meaning the door is open/broken).

The oven has completely cooled now, but the lock is still stuck.

I've cut the power at the breaker, several times, for up to 30 minutes, but the lock stays stuck.

Is the motor/solenoid shot?

Can I buy a new oven now?

Hi,

It may be possible to push the door switch yourself ( see upper left side of the oven opening ) and have someone else set and then cancal the self clean mode to see if the lock will then go back to it's normal unlocked position for regular cooking. Sometimes that switch is just the oven light switch and there is another self clean door switch is *hidden* on the right side hinge ( behind the side panal ).

The lock assembly may be bad yes.

Door lock/latch motor assembly w/2 switches.

Sure, why not ;)

Thanks! Yes, holding the light button in while pressing clean and waiting unlocked the latch.
