Kenmore Gas Oven Model # 790

[dmctlc]

The lock to my glass door for the cleaning cycle is out and I can’t close my oven now.I unplugged the oven several times and have pressed the clear button but it still won’t go back inside. The lock lite on the top of the oven is flashing as well and a F3 code came on at one point when I tried the clear button. This problem has happened in the past and I was able to clear it but this time nothing seems to work. Help can’t afford to have a service guy come to the house and the oven is only about 3 or 4 y/o.

F3 most commonly indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor but we may be able to find out for your particular range once you’ve posted its complete model number.
