Let the oven cool fully. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Kenmore door is locked after self-clean with E10. What now? Let it cool, reset power and try again. If it stays locked, book a visit. ### Can I force the Kenmore door open with E10? No. Forcing it can break the lock. ### Is E10 the same as E16 on my Kenmore? No. E16 means the door opened after it was locked. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore stove showing E10 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-e10/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
