Appliance Wall Oven
Quick answer

Kenmore 790 model self-cleaning wall oven code F9: door lock failure, with owner wiring checks and technician tests.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F9 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Oven door lock failure.

F9 and the door lock

Kenmore and Kenmore Elite self-cleaning wall ovens with model numbers starting 790 display F9 for an oven door lock failure.

What the owner can do

Unplug the wall oven, then secure any loose connections in the wire harness running between the oven door lock assembly and the electronic control board. A damaged wire harness is replaced.

What a technician checks

  • The door lock switch, measured with a multimeter with the switch arm pushed in and extended. A good switch reads near 0 ohms pushed in and OL extended.
  • If both positions read the same, the door lock assembly is replaced.
  • With the switch okay, resistance through the lock motor. Infinite resistance means a new door lock assembly.
