What to do when A3 shows on the rangeKind of codeDoor and lock
The oven door lock did not move to where the control sent it, or its switch reported the wrong position. It shows up most around self-clean; the latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are looked at before the lock motor is changed.
Usually leads toDoor hinge, gasket and lock repair
An oven door that will not close, sits crooked, leaks heat, or stays locked after self-clean, traced to the hinges, the gasket, the glass or the lock.
Shows up asRange Self-Clean Problems
The self-clean cycle will not start, stops partway, leaves the door locked, smokes heavily, or leaves the oven dead afterward.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for A3 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch power to the range off at the wall and on again, then press gently on the door a few times to help the lock let go.
If the door stays locked or A3 comes back, book a visit.

What not to do
A3 is not a reason to pull hard on the handle. Forcing the door can damage the lock and hinges.

Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
In Fisher & Paykel's own words
Gently press the door a few times to help the door lock disengage.
