One of the most common errors is the F90 code. A code F90 indicates that something is wrong with the door lock system on the electronic oven control board.
Causes of F90 Code in Frigidaire ovens
An unlocked door
It may appear when you try to unlock or lock the oven door. When locking the oven door, an error message is displayed if the door does not lock.
Self-cleaning
It may also appear during the oven’s self-cleaning. During a self-clean cycle, when the door lock is used, the F90 code may appear.
