The CANCEL key behind F2/E5
Look at the keypad when a Kenmore 665 model wall oven throws F2/E5: the manual blames a defective CANCEL key. F2/E6 carries identical wording, so the two codes follow a single procedure.
How the manual sequence runs
Cut the oven’s power or unplug it.
Where the keypad wire harness is loose, connect it again.
Switch power back on and press CANCEL.
If the code shows up again 60 seconds later, a new keypad goes in. Should the problem persist, the electronic oven control (EOC) is replaced.
Easy to confuse with
F2/E0 is a keypad wire harness that has come disconnected.
Wall oven repair for San Francisco and the Bay Area
An F2/E5 that returns after the keypad harness and CANCEL steps calls for a technician. Book Kenmore wall oven repair in San Francisco by phoning (415) 825-6393, and mention the code, the model number and whether the harness was loose when you opened the panel.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F2/E5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
