Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before attempting to access the door lock mechanism.
- Check for obstruction: Ensure no pans, racks, or foil are blocking the door from closing fully.
- Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and try a bake cycle to see if the lock resets.
- Manual release (if locked): Consult the Midea manual for the specific model; many have a manual release lever accessible from behind the control panel or through the rear.
If F9 persists, the door lock motor assembly or latch switch is likely defective and should be replaced. This requires removing the top or front panel and is best done by a technician.
