F5E1 error, oven door remains locked after self-clean or will not lock

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Misadjusted door latch, failed latch switch, bent latch hook, wiring fault to latch switches

Safety: Turn off power before adjusting or removing the latch.

Check door alignment: Ensure the oven door closes fully and evenly. Adjust hinges if the door is sagging.
Inspect latch hook: Look for a bent or misaligned latch hook that may prevent full engagement.
Test latch switches: With the latch manually moved between positions, test each switch for continuity. Replace the latch assembly if switches do not change state correctly.

After repair, restore power and test a lock/unlock cycle from the control panel.
