Error codeF5/E0
ApplianceRange
Two switches, two answers
On a 665 model Kenmore range, F5/E0 means the door switch says the door stands open while the latch switch says the latch is engaged.
An easy test to begin
Swing the oven door open and shut while watching the oven light. A light that stays unchanged condemns the oven door switch, and that switch gets replaced. A light that responds moves the attention to the lock side.
The lock side
Power is disconnected, or the range is unplugged.
Wires hanging loose on the door lock assembly harness are pushed back on.
A harness with damage is replaced.
A door lock assembly with visible damage is replaced.
The light test is for owners; wires and lock parts are for a technician.
Codes to compare
F5/E1: the self-clean latch will not lock or unlock.
F5: a lower oven sensor or control board code on other series.
Oven door lock service in San Francisco
Door and latch problems on a Kenmore range are handled for San Francisco and Bay Area households at (415) 825-6393. Report F5/E0, the model number and whether the oven light followed the door. The Kenmore range repair page describes the visit.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F5/E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The door is read as open while the latch is read as locked.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
