Hotpoint oven F01 error code
F01 means door lock fault. The door lock has failed or the door is not fully closed, so the oven will not start a program..
Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware
Safe checks, in order of likelihood
- Open and re-close the door firmly; check nothing obstructs the latch.
- Clean around the door latch — grease or debris can stop it engaging.
- Power-cycle the oven (unplug or switch off at the fuse for 10 minutes).
Call a professional when…
If F01 returns with a clean, fully closed door, the door lock or its switch needs replacing. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
