About Fisher & Paykel oven error code A3
What A3 means on a oven
Door lock error: the door could not be unlocked after a Self Clean cycle finished. This is the maker's own wording from the Built-in ovens user guide, not an interpretation of it.
What to do
- Turn the power to the oven off at the wall and on again.
- Touch the oven door to help the lock disengage.
- If the code comes back, the lock or its control needs a technician.
Note the code down before you clear it. On this maker it is the one piece of evidence that disappears the moment power is cycled, and it is the first thing anybody will ask you for.
The same number means something else on another machine
A3 is not one condition on this maker — it is 3 of them, keyed to the appliance rather than to the number. See the same number on a range, the same number on a dishwasher. If the page you arrived from was about a different machine, it was describing a different problem.
