A202, A203, F207 and F217 are door lock errors on a range. Let it cool, reset for 30 seconds, then call if needed.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so A202 / A203 / F207 / F217 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
The manufacturer lists A202, A203, F207 and F217 on freestanding cookers as door lock errors.
A freestanding Fisher & Paykel range may display A202, A203, F207 or F217. All four are listed as a door lock error. When each form shows up is not stated, so which control or oven produces which number cannot be said.
Reset, as the manufacturer gives it
Allow the cooling fans to stop and the oven to cool right down.
Switch off at the power supply and count out 30 seconds.
Switch on again.
Book a service repair if the code comes back.
Why cooling comes first
An unusual rule opens the support page: leave the power supply on unless told otherwise, because cutting power to an oven that is still too hot can damage it and the cabinets around it. The door lock reset is a case where switching off is expressly allowed, but only once the oven is cool.
Tips
Give it the whole thirty seconds, which the manufacturer stresses.
Have the fault code at hand when booking; the support page says this speeds things up.
Never force the door open while the lock is showing an error.
If the lock error persists, call (310) 872-1939 for Fisher & Paykel range repair in Los Angeles. Say which of the four codes appeared and that the 30 seconds were observed. See the cooktop and range repair page.
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.
