Error codeF095
ApplianceRange
Code: F095
Meaning: the door lock motor does not stop running
Ranges: Kenmore freestanding ranges with 790 model numbers, and Kenmore Elite electric slide-in models 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256
Deciding which part
What the lock motor is doing when the code appears decides the repair. When it is running nonstop, a relay on the relay control board is stuck, and the board is replaced. When the motor is not running all the time as F095 shows, the door lock assembly is the part replaced.
Both repairs mean opening up the range, so switch the power off and arrange a technician.
Compare with
f090 is the reverse situation, with no lock motor operation detected. f096 is raised when the door is seen open during self-clean.

Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F095 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
