What E10
actually means.
E10 on Kenmore's 4.8 cubic-foot stoves means the door lock cannot move to lock or unlock. It usually shows at the start or end of a self-clean.

What to do when E10 shows on the stoveKind of codeDoor lock
The latch that holds the oven door shut during self-clean did not move where the stove told it to, or its switch reported the wrong position. It turns up most often during or right after a self-clean cycle, or once the door has been lifted off for cleaning. The latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are checked before the lock motor is changed.
