Admiral A3510PPW 30 in 5.0 cu ft Electric Range with Self-Clean Oven and Storage Drawer F9 Error Fix: Door Lock Failure

Error code F9 on the Admiral A3510PPW 30 in 5.0 cu ft Electric Range with Self-Clean Oven and Storage Drawer means: Door Lock Failure. The oven door lock mechanism has failed to lock or unlock properly. This typically occurs during the self-clean cycle when the oven needs to lock the door for safety. Check the door lock motor and switch assembly — listen for the motor attempting to run when self-clean is initiated. Inspect the lock mechanism for bent or broken linkage. Check the door lock switch for continuity. Verify the wiring between the door lock assembly and the ERC. If the motor runs but the door does not lock, the lock mechanism or linkage is likely damaged. If the motor does not run at all, check for voltage at the motor terminals — if voltage is present but the motor does not run, replace the door lock motor assembly.
