My Tappan oven door will not unlock. The lock handle moves to the unlock position but it seems there is a safety or other latch that is not allowing it to open. When in the locked position, the door is tight to the unit, but in the unlocked position, the door will move away from the unit but then seems to hit a catch. Does this have something to do with the Cleaning cycle? Is there a reset button or other way to reset this lock? Thanks

Which way does the handle move to lock the door?

Handle moves to the right to lock. When moved to right it locks securely; when moved to the left, there seems to be a catch or safety lock that will not unlock. Thanks.

Very possible the handle is bend to the left. Carefully try to unbend it by locking the door and forcing the handle more to the right. I've seen it many times.
