Safe checks you can make

- Allow the oven to cool fully before doing anything else.
- Confirm the appliance has stable power at the outlet/circuit and that nothing else on the circuit is affected.
- Switch the oven off at the wall or breaker, wait a few minutes, then restore power and retry once.
- Check that the door closes fully and nothing is obstructing it.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.
Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, access heating elements or wiring, or bypass the door lock/interlock. If your model is a gas oven or range and you ever smell gas, stop immediately, do not operate any switches, leave the area, and contact your gas provider and a qualified technician. If you notice smoke, sparks, or a burning smell, switch off power at the wall if safe to do so and call a professional.
When to call a technician
If you are unsure about F3 at any point, step away from internal panels and schedule Fisher & Paykel Appliance Repair. Sealed, gas, and high-voltage work stays with qualified technicians.
