# Wolf built-in oven error code F1

### What this one means

The motorized door lock did not reach the position it was told to reach, or did not report reaching it, on a built-in oven, where every part named here sits behind trim that is screwed into the cabinetry rather than behind a panel that slides out. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- The lock motor and its microswitches
- The wiring between the lock and the board
- A latch fouled by a rack, a spill or a warped gasket
- Door lock or unlock switches not sensed within 60 seconds while driving the door lock motor
- State change during heating mode due to door slamming shut

### Worth doing before you call

- Note which cavity it is on a double oven — the code says upper or lower and that is half the diagnosis
- Let a self-clean cycle cool completely — the door will not release while the cavity is hot
- Look for anything in the way of the latch at the top of the door frame

### Then what

A door that will not unlock is the one error worth calling about the same day: the oven is unusable until it releases, and the assembly is behind the trim rather than in the cavity.

This code is published for built-in ovens & steam ovens. The [full list of codes](https://wolfmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
