A2 is a door lock error: the door could not lock once Self Clean was started.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so A2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Door lock error: the oven door cannot be locked after a Self Clean cycle has been started.
What A2 tells you
Starting Self Clean and getting A2 instead means the door could not be locked. Fisher & Paykel classes it as a door lock error that occurs once the cycle has been started.
The manufacturer’s three steps
Switch the power off, then on again.
Set the clock once more.
Start Self Clean a second time.
The help page, written for the OB76V3, OB60SL and OB60C wall ovens, says a service technician is needed if the fault comes back.
Checking the door first
Before another attempt, see whether the door is fully closed and nothing, perhaps a tray handle or a tea towel, props it open by even a little. These are not named as causes in the source. They are simply ordinary things to rule out, not the manufacturer’s explanation.
Why this is not an owner repair
The lock holds the door shut while cleaning temperatures are high, so a door that will not lock is a safety question.
Repairing the lock means opening up the oven.
Never force the door.

A3: the opposite fault, with the door staying locked after cleaning
Should A2 return after the power reset, dial (310) 872-1939. Mention the oven model, and let us know you have already cycled the power and set the clock. Our oven repair page has more.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
