F9 code on unit. Oven door locked

The self cleaning features only serves to keep manufacturers in steady sales of parts. Quite simply the oven can only take those temperatures a few times until they break. The heat burns out elements, damages fans, door locks and worst of all damages control boards which are not far enough from the heat source. It sounds like your control board is fried. Try turning it of at the breaker for 15 minutes by way of a reset.

Never use the self cleaning feature as stated here

Dennis the F9 indicates the door lock switch has not positioned correctly. By what you are describing it sounds like the lock mechanism did not pull the door in tight for the cleaning resulting in the code. It's possible it could be a pinched wire on the locking mech. What needs to be done here is that someone has to examine the door lock mechanism to insure it's operating correctly. The door should be pulled tight and the switch sould be closed on the cam.

The oven gets extremely hot during the self-cleaning mode... the door switch might have got stuck in locked position, or broken in locked position (to be replaced), let's hope it's just stuck...which you'll need to work the mechanical lock-unlock latching back and forth to hopefully unstick....and if that doesn't work just re-run self-cleaning process but this time let the oven cool completely before unlocking the door. Hope this helps.

you either have a bad latch assy. or a bad computer board or a broken wire.this can be an expensive fix and the problem with self cleaning ovens is when you self clean them the temp. gets up to 1000 degrees and this damages the electronics in the machines,personally i would never use the self clean feature i clean mine by hand with easy off.people do this near the holidays and then the oven doesn't work parts have to be ordered and it could take up to 5 to 10 days or longer to get parts.don't ever self clean your oven when a holiday is coming up so this doesn't happen.if you can still use the oven just forget about the self clean if the error keeps you from cooking you'll have to find out what part is bad to fix it it sounds like your latch is working this code means the computer board thinks the door isn't locked if you want to change out the latch motor it's pretty easy,unplug the oven,pull it out and remove the back wall,the motor will be on the top right hand side looking at the unit from the back the part number is 316464301 this part is around 55 to 75 bucks depending where you get it now if it still does it the clock assy. is around 300 bucks part 316207600 so i would change out the latch assy. first if you need this repaired.hope this helps you out one more thing did you try unplugging the oven it could reset the computer board,leave it unplugged for 10 minutes and then plug it back in,don't try to self clean it,put it on bake and if the code doesn't come back great who cares about the self clean

The F9 means Lock switch. Check wiring to door lock switch (the wire harness may be connected wrong). Check for stuck lock switch. You can check for loose or overheated wire connection.

The F9 code indicates there is a problem with the door lock.

Try disconnecting the power to the range for 10 seconds and reconnecting. Open the oven door and hold the door switch plunger in while you try these things. Put the control into clean for 5 minutes then cancel clean. You must hold the door switch plunger in for the 5 minutes.

Try canceling the clean cycle without putting the control into clean.

This is a lock switch error code. Check wiring to door lock switch (the wire harness may be connected wrong). Check for stuck lock switch. If the switch cannot be re adjusted, it must be replaced.

I had the same problem. All I had to do was clean around the door lock. A small bit of burnt food or something had gotten into the hole around the lock and prevented it from moving all the way into position. Took a tooth pick and 30 seconds of probing to clean it out. Works fine now.

I hit the same F9 problem when trying to self-clean, except that the door was locked OPEN.

After much trial and error, I found the following fix: 1. Switch circuit breaker off. 2. Switch circuit breaker on. 3. Press Bake button. 4 Press the small/inside button which indicates that the oven door is closed.

The lock mechanism opened and the oven now works fine.
