My Whirlpool built-in oven RBS305PDB12 was set at 400 degrees baking... when the oven door locked and would not open. We shut power off and when it cooled down it finally opened. What caused this?
From my understanding of modern ovens, it should only lock like that if it's doing it's 'self-clean' cycle. It's possible that the locking module was 'tripped' by the high heat or somehow thought that is what it was instructed to do. If the problem happens again when the oven is set to 400 (and not self clean) it may be a damaged module/sensor
