Self-clean door stuck locked
After a self-clean cycle, the door lock should release once the oven cools. If it stays locked, the lock motor, latch switch or control may have failed.

Oven not heating, burner won't light or the temperature is off? We repair gas and electric ranges, wall ovens and cooktops in Tinley Park.
We repair freestanding and slide-in ranges, wall ovens and cooktops in Tinley Park homes, gas and electric. The visit starts with a diagnosis, because a cold oven can be a burned-out element, a weak igniter, a bad sensor or a control board, and each is a different fix.

An element that glowed bright, sparked and went dark has usually failed. Replacing it is one of the most common oven repairs.
If food takes much longer than the recipe says, the temperature sensor may be reading wrong, or an element or igniter may be weakening.
Cookies burned on one side and pale on the other can come from a convection fan that stopped, a weak element or a door that doesn't seal.
Endless clicking usually traces to the switch behind a knob, often after a spill. A replacement switch stops it.
Cleaning cycles stress the wiring and parts. When the oven dies after one, we test the fuse, sensor and control.
If you smell gas, don't turn anything on or off. Leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, we diagnose and repair the range.
A burner that clicks without lighting usually has a wet or dirty igniter, a misaligned burner cap or a clogged port. Cleaning and seating the cap often fixes it.

After: the oven with a new bake element installed, heating evenly with the oven light on. On site this meant element and igniter tests, burner and switch checks, plus written quote.
