I have a freestanding GE Profile oven and it randomly beeps an F9 warning, when it's not even being used? Any ideas?

Hi,

Before you go working too hard to get you oven to go into the self clean mode(self destruct)....check out this tip...

Self Cleaning Oven Problem

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaning option. Thanks for the info!!

This is an indication that there is a sensor issue with the door lock mechanism. There is a reset procedure you can try to see if the doorlock mechanism is working. It is usually used for a different code "Lock Dor" but it should let you know if the circuit is working or not. It also resets the devices and maybe will clear your error code.

This is a lock switch error code. Check wiring to door lock switch (the wire harness may be connected wrong). Check for stuck lock switch. If the switch cannot be re adjusted, it must be replaced.

F9-- Failed Lock switch detected.

Check wiring to door lock switch (the wire harness may be connected wrong). Check for stuck lock switch.

If the wires are ok and, the switch is not stuck, replace it asap.

f9 means your control panel needs to be replaced..chances are part is not covered and if it is the only way you can obtain it is through having service

Could be a stuck keypad. Try pressing all pads at random several times each to clear it.
If that does not work the ERC(clock) must be replaced.

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.

After sliding latch to its locking position did you press the self clean button on the control panel?

F9 indicates a problem with the wiring specifically listed as program w/ door circuitry. A qualified service tech may be the best choice to fix this problem.
