What A3
actually means.
A3 on a Fisher & Paykel professional stove means the door lock could not release after a Self Clean cycle ended. The oven is usually still very hot at this point.

What to do when A3 shows on the stoveKind of codeDoor lock
The latch that holds the oven door shut during self-clean did not move where the stove told it to, or its switch reported the wrong position. It turns up most often during or right after a self-clean cycle, or once the door has been lifted off for cleaning. The latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are checked before the lock motor is changed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for A3 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the oven cool fully; do not pull on the handle.
Cycle the wall switch off and on, then push lightly on the door several times so the lock can release.
If the door stays locked or A3 returns, book a visit.
