Pro Diagnostic Tip
F9E0 most commonly appears during or after self-clean when the latch fails to unlock as the oven cools below 550F. On Maytag models, the latch motor has plastic gears that strip from heat cycling. If the door is stuck locked, patience is key — the bi-metal release needs time to cool.
