Listed from most to least common.

How to fix the F90 code

Unplug the oven or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.

1. 1

   Step 1: Let the oven cool

   If the code appeared during or after self-clean, wait until the oven is fully cool. The door stays locked while the oven is hot.

2. 2

   Step 2: Try to unlock

   Press Unlock or hold Off/Cancel as your Use and Care Guide describes. Follow any on-screen directions.

3. 3

   Step 3: Reset the power

   Switch the range off at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then turn it back on. This clears most false door lock codes.

4. 4

   Step 4: Do not force the door

   Never pull on a locked door. Wait for the lock to release on its own after the reset.

Parts that may need replacing

Check your model number on the label inside the door or on the back before ordering.
