What F94 says
The control made more locking attempts than permitted. That reading belongs to the 790 freestanding self-cleaning electric ranges (2004 and newer) and the 2014 self-cleaning electric ranges. On glass touch electric ranges and Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel units numbered 790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275 or 790.4276, the same display means a failed oven door lock.
Parts named for 790 and 2014 ranges
- Lock motor assembly, for a coil that is open.
- Oven door latch motor assembly, for a motor that runs without pause while its microswitch is open.
- Oven door light switch, if open.
- Electronic oven control board, when none of the above solves it.
Before any part, a technician inspects control board wiring to the lock motor microswitch and looks for binding among the latch cam, the lock motor rod and the lock motor cam.
Reset sequence for glass touch and slide-in ranges
Unplug, wait, plug in. Then ask for a lock with the lockout setting or a clean cycle, using cancel if the door would not release. A lock motor that remains still points to the harness wires between the lock assembly and the oven control board; those are secured or replaced, and a good harness moves the work to the door lock assembly and, last, the relay control board.
