Hotpoint RGA724EKWH 5.0 cu ft 30 in Gas Range with Sealed Burners and Continuous Grates F9 Error Fix: Oven Door Lock Motor or Switch Failure

The oven door lock motor has failed to lock or unlock the door within the expected time — the motorized door lock mechanism is used during the self-clean cycle to secure the door while the oven reaches approximately 900°F; common causes include a failed lock motor, a broken or stuck door lock switch, corroded wiring in the lock circuit, or a physically jammed latch mechanism; if the door is stuck locked after a self-clean cycle, let the oven cool completely (1-2 hours minimum) and then try a power cycle (breaker off for 60 seconds); if the door remains locked, the lock motor assembly needs replacement; never force the door open as this can damage the lock mechanism or the door itself
