Dr code for ranges mean - Kenmore 79012 / 79014 / 79019 Gas Kitchen Range

Thank you for your inquiry, Lucie!

From what you have described your Frigidaire oven lock is stuck open and you are receiving error codes "F9" and "DR". The "F9" error code stands for runaway temperature (overheating). This could be an issue with your RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) or the EOC (Electronic Oven Control). I would recommend performing a reset on your oven and you can do that by disconnecting from your oven for ten minutes. The "DR" code means that the door is not closed or the door latch is not recognizing the door is closed. This could be an issue with your door latch or control panel. If the reset does not help correct your issues I would recommend having a professional technician out to perform a proper diagnosis and repair. Best of luck! -Matt

Check your manual for the anser to that problem.

Good Morning ShawnR, thank you for your post!

An error code DR commonly refers to a door lock malfunction. I understand you have reprogrammed the range by unplugging it. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn your range back on. Typically, this will clear most false error codes. If the error code continues to display, your range could possibly have a faulty door latch, light switch or EOC (electronic oven control). I am fairly confident that an authorized service agent will be able to restore your appliance to its normal operating condition. You can often locate a qualified service technician on the manufacturer website.

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to assist you!

Hello Mike, an error code DR commonly refers to a door lock malfunction. Try reprogramming the range by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and then turn the unit on. Typically, this will clear most false error codes. If the error code continues to display, the range could possibly have a faulty door latch, light switch or EOC (electronic oven control). I would strongly recommend contacting a professional to get the appropriate diagnosis prior to make any unnecessary part replacements. I hope this information proves to be helpful.

DR is a door problem. Either the door is not closed correctly or the door latch switch on top of the door frame is faulty. Contact a professional.

This indicates a failure in the temperature probe. This is easy to check and replace. Here is a link that will walk you thru checking an oven Temperature Sensor .

The problem is you will have to take it to the dealer to get the reprogram done.


P2096 - Fuel trim too lean. Usually means vacuum leak. Look for crushed, broken or melted off vacuum hoses near intake manifold. Or an obvious hissing noise at a normal idle. If so replace or repair clear codes your done. If not obvious take carb cleaner spray with nozzle attached car running & go over all vacuum hoses, intake manifold, EGR valve see if idle raises if so you found leak. Repair. Could also be bad oxygen sensor switching bad O2 sensor but rarely.


Hope this helps!

My mother cleaned her oven this weekend and she got the same message on her display. I could not answer what 'dr' stands for, but I was able to clear the message simply by unplugging and replugging the range.

Still if anyone know what it means, it would be a big help.

That's a door code, check the door and door switch for alignment and activating switch.
