I have a 24" kenmore (Frigidaire?) electric ceramic top stove. While using the oven, the oven door locked and now won't open. Turned off breaker but no help. Now when I push the clean or bake or broil buttons, display reads "off" but no error messages- just"off" any advice?

Doing some troubleshooting would be the only way to know for sure, there are various possibilities. According to the parts diagram, The door is locked by a rod that goes from the front to the back of the range which is hooked to a motor that turns it to the lock position. Here are some possibilities. Check the wire connections that go to the clock and the door latch motor.
The rod could have broken loose from the motor itself and is stuck in the lock position.
Another is that the motor went bad after going into lock position and it wouldn’t be able to come out of the clean position because the motor isn’t working.
Another thing to check it to see if voltage is actually being sent to the latch motor when switching from the off position to the clean cycle and vice versa. One posible cause could be the clock itself.
