FC on the 362 range
Kenmore 362 freestanding ranges show FC when the door lock has failed. F9 carries the same meaning on this model, which is why the chart groups the two.
Work order
Remove the plug from the outlet.
Trace the harness from the lock to the electronic control board. Tighten any connection that has worked loose, and replace the harness if it is damaged.
Then inspect the lock assembly of the oven door. If it is damaged, a new one goes in.

F90: unlock time exceeded on newer self-cleaning ranges.
