Turn the power to the oven off at the wall and back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does Fisher and Paykel ask me to set the clock after A2? Turning the power off at the wall resets the clock, and the guide lists setting it as a step before you try Self Clean again. ### A2 appears every time I start self-clean on my Fisher and Paykel. What next? If a firm close and a fresh start do not help, the lock or the door switch needs to be checked, and that calls for a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher and Paykel wall oven showing A2 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-a2/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
