Most Lorton ranges and wall ovens from the last twenty years have electronic controls, a temperature sensor at the back of the oven and, often, a convection fan. When an oven runs cool or slow, the sensor is one of the first things we test, because the control relies on it to decide when to heat.
The LG from the Mount Vernon area in the requests shown here wouldn't get past about 300°F. The usual suspects are the temperature sensor, a weak igniter on a gas model, the bake element on an electric one, or calibration.
Self-clean is hard on an oven. The cycle runs far hotter than any recipe, and a door lock, thermal fuse or control board that was close to failing often goes during it or right after. If you use it, stay home while it runs and wipe out spills first so a shorter cycle will do.
If the oven smokes heavily during self-clean, turn it off and let it cool; the lock stays on until it does, and heavy smoke usually means too much residue was left inside.

The oven is designed for it, but it's the hardest thing the oven does. If yours is older or already acting up, clean it by hand, or use a steam-clean cycle if it has one. And don't run self-clean the week before you're hosting.
Leave the oven off for a few hours so it cools. If it still won't unlock, switch the breaker off for a minute and back on. A door that stays locked after that has a failed lock motor, switch or control and needs a technician.
Safe basics: confirm the breaker, make sure the controls are not in a delay or lock mode, and check the door closes fully. Heating elements, igniters and internal wiring run on serious current - those belong to a technician.
