While using the unit this morning it stopped and the door latch unclicked and allowed the door to come open. I tried to close the door to continue but it won't close.
I experienced the same problem. The solution was easy, for me at least. Remove the door. pry loose the plastic liner that covers the inside of door. remove the four screws that hold the glass unit in place. You will find rattling around inside a spring about an inch long and a broken plastic piece about an inch and a half tall. On my unit the plastic piece was still hanging on by a thread which gave me a clear understanding of how the door latch is supposed to work. Remove the plastic latch unit which is designed to slide on the two posts about three eights of on inch distance under the pressure of the spring. Problem is loss of spring induced pressure.
The repair: ( I used my bandsaw to do this) fashion a piece of wood with indentations that correspond to the plastic ribs enabling the wood to sit perfectly into the space. Drill a hole at the point where the inch and a half "anchor post" broke off and insert a dowel of same length. I carved a shallow indentation for the spring, pressed the spring on with needle nose pliers, replaced the sliding latch mechanism, attached other end of spring to the latch. I drilled into the exterior plastic door frame and installed a flat head screw to hold the wood repair piece solidly in place. Re-install pieces removed earlier and you have a happy, functioning Frigidaire gallery micro at your service. Took an hour.
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
Good Morning friend, thank you for your post!
I understand that your Frigidaire range is not allowing you to cancel and you are unable to use the oven. I would suggest holding down the "Cancel/Clear" button for ten seconds and that should cancel the self-cleaning. If that does not work I would recommend a reset on your range, you can do that by flipping off the household circuit breaker for ten minutes. I hope this has been helpful. -Matt
Hello Brian Pelletier, thanks for your inquiry!
I understand that you are having issues with your door not locking upon using the self-clean feature. It sounds like a possible issue with your EOC (Electronic Oven Control) or dock latch assembly. I would suggest unplugging your range if possible or flipping you breaker for ten minutes to perform reset. If the light continues to flash you may want to seek assistance from a professional for proper diagnosis and repair. -Matt
That's a great question, friend!
I see you question is labeled under model FGES3065KB. In order to remove the drawer on that specific Frigidaire range you would need to follow these steps:
1. Open the drawer to full position.
2. Locate the latches on both sides of the drawer.
3. Pull up on the left glide latch and push down on the right glide latch.
4. Pull the drawer away from your range.
I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt
Hello arab125 - I understand that the timer and clock works fine, however from what you have described it sounds like the range could possibly have a wiring failure, faulty sensor, or an issue with the EOC. I would suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately.
