Oven displays F9E2, often during or after self-clean; door may remain locked or unlocked incorrectly.

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool completely and disconnect power before working on the latch.

• Inspect for obstructions: Remove the top or rear panel to access the latch. Look for bent rods, screws, or insulation blocking latch movement.
• Lubricate pivot points: Lightly lubricate metal pivot points with a high-temperature-safe lubricant (avoid getting any on plastic parts or electrical contacts).
• Check switches: Use a multimeter to verify that the latch position switches open and close correctly as the latch moves. Replace the latch assembly if switches are unreliable.
• Replace latch: If the latch binds or the motor is weak, install a new door lock motor and latch assembly.
