Oven self-clean cycle not working? Here's Who to Call
When the self-clean cycle won't start or quits partway, the usual culprits are the door-lock motor, the oven temperature sensor, or a blown thermal fuse that the high heat tripped. On many models a failed self-clean leaves the oven locked and dead until the fault is cleared. An appliance-repair technician can diagnose the lock, sensor, and control board and get both cleaning and baking working again.
