Bosch evolution range door won't lock for sef cleaning

Hi,

please verify with the product documentation that the flashing-door symbol indicates what you've initially mentioned. Apart from that, you might look for the sensor and hold it in to temporarily overcome the issue. If the door being shut is the issue, pressing in the sensor should fix the issue for you temporarily. If not, then you can work with Bosch or Home Deport to moving forward.

Prior to their arrival, you can power cycle your machine 1 or 2 times and check for the door symbol once more. It could be that they sensor has gone bad for some reason.

Thank you

You will need to replace the lock assembly. Here is the part to order.

What is the make and model number of your unit?

The F9 code indicates there is a problem with the door lock.

Try disconnecting the power to the range for 10 seconds and reconnecting. Open the oven door and hold the door switch plunger in while you try these things. Put the control into clean for 5 minutes then cancel clean. You must hold the door switch plunger in for the 5 minutes.

Try canceling the clean cycle without putting the control into clean.

Ok. Open the door and find the oven light switch(es) (some models had two switches). Press the switch(es) in and see if the latch goes back to the home position. If not enlist a volunteer to turn on the self clean cycle while you are holding the switch(es) in. Just after the self clean starts have them hit cancel and wait until the lock comes back to it's "home" or unlocked position.
Good luck!!

Error Code: F43 Cause: Upper (or single) oven motorized latch will not unlock; Defective or jammed upper oven door or latch switches; Defective latch motor or its wiring. Corrective Action: 1. Check P24 connector on the power board. 2. Ensure door latch switches are operating properly. 3. Check that neither latch switch nor common wires are
pinched to the appliance chassis. 4. Check P10 connector and check if latch motor wire is pinched to the appliance chassis. 5. If F43 persists, replace power board

Hi, I am getting the same error today. Did it ever clear up? Were you able to open the door eventually?
