# Range error code F9

### What F9 means on this make

The range cannot confirm the state of its own door latch. As on the Classic platform this usually appears around a self-clean cycle, and the sequence matters: a door that is currently locked on a hot cavity is left alone until it is cold, whatever the code says. The mechanism and the switch that reports its position are the two candidates, and they are cheap parts compared with the hinges that get bent when somebody forces a door.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

ER30D, ER36D and ER48D ranges. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- If the door is locked and the oven is hot, wait. Nothing else on this list matters more.
- Once cold, power down for a minute — some latches release on a control restart.
- The latch motor and its position switch are tested separately.
- Have it repaired before the next cleaning cycle rather than after it.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [self clean and door lock repair](/services/self-clean-and-door-lock-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
