Let the oven cool completely. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is F205 on my Fisher and Paykel oven the same as A3? Both concern the door lock, but A3 has owner steps in the user guide, while an F-group lock code is one Fisher and Paykel sends to service if a reset does not clear it. ### Why does Fisher and Paykel ask me to write down the F number? Its support article says having the code ready speeds up support. The number tells the technician which part of the lock circuit to start with. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher and Paykel oven showing F205 or another door lock F code](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-f205/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
