The door was staying locked because I leaned up against the controls while putting in a new Hotpoint over-the-range microwave in and got the range in clean mode. Well, holding down the "Clear" button for 30 seconds until fault code "F11" came up did it. Why no answers on any of the first 25 google responses? Don't know, but thanks very much.

Maybe you should try a different repair service. Like a doctor, if you don't like the first opinion get a second one. I also think that if you get a repairman to your house and he tells you what parts you need, you should order it from a wholesale appliance place, you can usually save money that way.Freezer Gasketshttp://www.barefrigeration.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-14362324763812001822008-11-05T04:59:00.000-09:002008-11-05T04:59:00.000-09:00I'm so sorry for your trouble, it sounds like the ...I'm so sorry for your trouble, it sounds like the installer may have pinched a wire somewhere.

I can only imagine how frustrated you must be. Hopefully I can change your mind about our company or at least make your day.<BR/><BR/>Despite some of the comments responding to your story, we do make a very high quality product and no one stands behind their products like Electrolux.<BR/><BR/>We would like to have a chance to prove that we do stand behind our products. If you can send me a copy of your invoice from Harold's, we will make things right for you, and will take this up with Harold's.<BR/><BR/>Your oven is 5 years out of warranty and we're sorry you've had trouble. As you probably know any appliance is a machine; every machine is destine to fail eventually. What really compounds the issue is the lack of quality service in Anchorage. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to make an attempt to contact you outside this blog to get things taken care. Hopefully we can make you glad that 6 years ago you made a quality decision to purchase our products!<BR/><BR/>Again, we are truly sorry you've had such a hard time with this repair.live to servehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528806344680186293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-77280578497358325982008-04-28T09:07:00.000-08:002008-04-28T09:07:00.000-08:00I've heard Fridigaire is known for having lots of ...I've heard Fridigaire is known for having lots of problems.
