# JennAir stove showing F9-1

F9-1 on a JennAir stove points to the oven door latch, the door lock switch or the wiring to them.

## What F9-1 actually means.

F9-1 on a JennAir stove points to the oven door latch, the door lock switch or the wiring to them. The control cannot confirm the lock position it asked for.

What to do when F9-1 shows on the stove

### Kind of code Door 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.

### Usually leads to Stove door and hinge repair

Oven doors on a stove that will not close, drop open, sit crooked or leak heat, fixed at the hinges, the door seal, the glass or the door lock.

### Shows up as Stove Door Won't Close

The oven door on the stove hangs open a crack, closes crooked, springs back open, or will not stay shut and lets heat pour out while you bake.

### Make JennAir

## Questions about F9-1.

### Can I clear F9-1 myself?

Close the door firmly and make sure nothing sits in its path. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does F9-1 on a JennAir stove mean the same as F9 E0?

No. On JennAir's standard stoves F9-1 concerns the door lock, while F9 E0 on the professional-style models is about the power supply.

### Why does F9-1 appear after self-clean on my JennAir stove?

The lock moves at the start and end of self-clean. If the lock switch does not report correctly, F9-1 appears then.

### Can I clear F9-1 on my JennAir stove myself?

A one-minute breaker reset is the owner step JennAir gives. If it returns, the latch or switch needs a technician.
