Here is a whirlpool (slide-in) electric stove/oven with model No YGY396LXPB01
The oven has stopped working after going through self-cleaning cycle. I checked and the oven light is constantly on. When you
try to start the oven (bake) it gives "door" on the control panel as if the door is open and the elements don't heat up, but I can hear the fan running.
All the time the oven light is on and I cannot turn it off.
I played with the door latch a bit and it moves by hand. When I push it by hand to the position of "lock" the oven light
turns off and the elements start heating.

Is this problem with the latch mechanism? will replacing that fix the problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,

Sounds like the door latch is the culprit and the new one should fix the problem.

I went and tried one more thing; tried pushing the latch into lock position by hand and then started self-clean cycle again; then cancelled it. It showed "End" and "locked" still.
Eventually it fixed the problem so no need to change any part. Thanks for the help.

You are welcome. Possible the door latch motor somehow did not finish its revolution.
