Oven not self-cleaning

01 - Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad
The door lock indicator light should come on and you should hear the lock motor running when the self-clean button is pressed. If the indicator light does not come on and you don't hear a low humming noise as the door is being locked, it's likely the oven's touchpad is faulty and will need to be replaced.

02 - Range/Stove/Oven Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly
During the oven's self-cleaning cycle, the door lock switch activates the door lock motor to prevent the oven door from being opened. If the door lock motor and switch assembly is defective, the oven door will not unlock once the self-cleaning cycle is complete. On most ovens, you can open the oven door by removing certain screws or panels. Check your owner's manual for further instructions.

03 - Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat
The oven thermostat sends voltage to the heating circuit and regulates the temperature of the oven during the self-cleaning cycle. It is possible for the oven thermostat to function properly for baking and broiling but not for cleaning. Due to its complexity, the oven thermostat is difficult to test. If you suspect the oven thermostat is at fault, replace it.

04 - Range/Stove/Oven Door Latch
A defective door latch assembly may prevent the oven door from locking. The latch assembly will often contain a door switch that causes the oven door to lock during the self-cleaning cycle. If the oven door is unable to lock, the self-cleaning cycle will not start. To determine whether a latch assembly's door switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the door switch does not have continuity, replace the door latch assembly.
