I added the instructions for removing the oven door below.
With the door open locate the door jamb switch on the face of the oven.
If the oven is empty of food and utensils initiate a self clean cycle.
Don t force the latch.
If you have food in a locked oven wait until the oven cools to room temperature before trying to unlatch the door again.
Clear the lock mechanism as indicated by the door loc light by pressing and holding in the oven door light switch for 20 to 30 seconds.
If you haven t cleaned the oven but the door still seems locked try sliding the latch to the left gently without force.
If it doesn t move freely wait for the oven to cool a little longer and try again.
Grasp the door at the top sides.
But releasing the lock may be a simple fix.
Once the oven cools after cleaning move the latch to the left to unlock the door.
2 wait approximately 10 minutes and reapply power to the oven.
Detach the oven door.
