I have a Kenmore self-cleaning oven, and I cannot open it. I was baking something, and pulled a lever that's supposed to be used for latching the door during a cleaning cycle. Now I can't open it!

Quit the cleaning cycle buy hitting off and then wait for it to cool down once it gets to a reasonable temp it will open but it has to cool down a little first.

Mine did that once. The temperature limit switch was bad. It was stuck in "the oven's still hot" mode. I didn't feel like messing with it so I called a repair man. Replaced temperature limit switch, works perfectly.

I had the same problem, I pushed the buttons for the hours for cleaning, the timer, and set the time to 00 hours and the door came unlocked.

Too bad. You'll have to wait till the cleaning cycle is over.

just unplug the cord. That will release the lock memory.
