What A3
actually means.
A3 means the door could not be unlocked after a Self Clean cycle finished. A power reset and a gentle press on the door often free the lock.

What to do when A3 shows on the ovenKind of codeDoor and lock
The motorized lock did not reach the position the control asked for, or its switch reported the wrong one. Most often this shows during or after self-clean; the latch, its switches and the door's alignment are checked before the lock motor is replaced.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for A3 on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the power off at the wall and back on.
Press gently on the door a few times to help the lock disengage.
If the door stays locked and A3 returns, book a visit.

What not to do
A3 is different from the normal cool-down. Fisher and Paykel notes that the door also stays locked after self-clean while the oven is too hot to cook in, and that is expected.
