Error codeF9-2
ApplianceRange
The meaning of F9-2
This range code leads to the oven door latch, the door lock switch, or the wiring belonging to them.
Do this first
Kill the power to the range at the breaker, or unplug it, for a minute. Switch it back on and keep the oven in sight for one more minute. A display that stays clear means you can carry on and confirm the oven works.
When F9-2 comes back
A repeat means a technician should inspect the latch area.

F9-1 and F9-3 read the same way. FCE4 is a different matter, a Wi-Fi antenna message.
