Pro Diagnostic Tip
F9 appears during or after self-clean when the latch fails to unlock as the oven cools below 550F. On Amana models, patience is key — the bi-metal release may need up to 30 minutes. Forcing the door strips the plastic gears permanently and requires a full latch assembly replacement.
