Error codeF5/E0
ApplianceWall Oven
A contradiction between two switches
F5/E0 on a Kenmore 665 model wall oven describes a door that is open while the latch is locked, because the door switch and the latch switch give opposite answers.
Oven light as the door switch test
For the door switch, the manual relies on the oven light. Open the door, close it, and see if the lamp comes on and goes off accordingly. A door switch that fails this is replaced.
Next, the lock assembly
Switch the power off or take the plug out of the wall.
Reattach wires that have come off the door lock assembly harness, and swap in a new harness if it is damaged.
Look over the door lock assembly. A visibly broken one is changed out.

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
F5/E0 means the door switch and latch switch disagree: door open, latch 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.
