Is there a chance that the self clean cycle is not complete? If so perhaps a built in safety feature will not allow you to open it until it has completed the cycle.I ran the self clean cycle on my oven, and now my oven door is stuck shut. Model 686WH-EKVW. Thanks so much for any help!!

I don't know. I ran it for the 3 hours that came up on the timer, shut everything down in the order that I started it. How do you tell if it's not complete? Thank you so much for your reply btw!

Hello tmyates. Welcome to my Gas Appliances topic.
Try this. Disconnect the electrical power. Turn it off at the panel breaker to the kitchen appliances or plug out the electrical plug from the wall outlet.
Once you do this, allow power to be off for about 15 - 20 minutes. Supply electrical power back to the appliance. May reset the internal circuity.
If that does not work and the door has a lever which you move to the closed/open position, it may be jammed, bent slightly or forced closed to much. Wiggle it genitally as you attempt to open/release the locking device.
May have to remove the front glass panel to access the locking device. Be sure electrical power is off before doing so.
