This is Turtle.

I have a Whirlpool , well really a Roper with the F-7 Fault code Coming up on
it. The only thing it is doing wrong is the Oven Door will not open and is
locked shut.

There has been no cleaning on the oven or auto cleaning at all all day. Out of
the blue the Oven Door Just locked and everything else works fine. You even turn
the oven on to use it but the Door is Just lock shut. Do you suggest Dyinomite
or Someone who knows what they are doing to look at it.

Also What is the Fault Code F-7 Mean ?

Hi T. Hopefully Paul won't come over here and tell you to post this question
at alt.who.cares.about.this!

According to http://www.repairclinic.com/0078.asp

F7 - Computer logic interrupted (lock motor). The fix is supposedly to
replace the touch pad.

I've seen a similar fault on a KitchenAid oven and was able to reset it by
taking the power off for a minute. Give that a try.

This is Turtle.

I have unplugged it for 4 hours and also 1 hour at different times and no help.
I just unplugged it right now and will let it go over nite. This thing I think
did it about 5 years ago and unplugging it did it. Now it can't hear the
unplugging noise I guess.

Hey How can I get to that Level that is locking it shut and get to it with a
Hack Saw ! I bet it will not lock again if I can get to it with a Hacksaw. That
Self Cleaning stuff is useless to use. We are not to lazy to just clean it out.

I unplugged it for about 10 minutes and then pushed clean the oven to run it
thought the cycle it throw the clean mode to try to clear it. Now when I mashed
the clean the oven button and now it is [[[[[[[[ contenously Beeping and has
little letters ''clean '' and big letters DOOR ]]]]]]].

Hold on here New Flash ! I got the Larry the Cable Guy Attitude going and took
the top off where the arm ties on. I cut the spring, disconnected the arm, Hack
Sawed the hook off the part that latched in the door, and the door come open
like a charm. I put it back to gether and everything works but the cleaning of
the oven will not work now. I did not want the cleaning cycle thing to work
anyway. I'll teach that thang to fool with me. Get R Done !

Thank you there Travis and sure thank you for the help on the Diagnosis of the
problem.

Get R Done
