We have an Electrolux Icon oven and cannot get the self cleaner to work. We removed all racks (including side racks) turned it to clean and nothing happened. We shut off the power and turned it back on...still nothing. Now the oven is locked and we cannot open it at all. This is a brand new oven and obviously our first attempt at cleaning it. What could possibly be the problem? Steve
There is a small white plastic triangular switch that needs to be in the out position for the oven to recognize that the racks have been taken out. Look at the back left side WITHIN the upper rack support channel. (This is not the small U-shaped piece that can be seen slightly lower on the wall oven.) If the switch is still depressed, with power turned off at the breaker, depress the switch using a small screwdriver. It should pop outwards to the proper "racks out" position. When we had this problem and recycled the power, we again got the signal. Husband switched to a nonconductive tool and repeated the depressing/releasing of the switch while the oven was giving the "remove racks" command. It sensed that all was well and now operates properly. If this does not fix the problem, you may have to replace a board $$$.
