We have unplugged, waited 5 minutes and replugged it - that didn't work. We started the self cleaning oven again and let it run a few minutes then cancelled it and that didn't work. Any other suggestions on how I can get the door open? I can't get to the back of the oven because in order to do that I'd need to remove the front panel. And to do that I'd need to open the door. Thanks for any suggestions!!

If not, than use thin screw driver or anything similar to release the hook. Do not forget to unplug the oven! Here is the latch assembly Latch replacement parts for Whirlpool KEMS308GSS2 BUILT-IN OVEN, ELECTRIC W/MICROWAVE \| AppliancePartsPros.com What the control board displaying? Any massages? Thank you. Simon.
