F5E1 error; oven door remains locked after cycle or will not lock for self-clean.

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

Faulty latch position switch, misadjusted latch, bent latch rod, wiring harness issue to latch switches

Warning: Turn off power before attempting to manually move the latch.

Allow cooling: If just after self-clean, allow the oven to cool fully; the door may unlock automatically once temperature drops.
Manually reset latch (if accessible): With power off and top panel removed, gently move the latch arm to the unlocked position. Do not force.
Inspect switches: Check that the latch switches actuate fully when the latch moves. Replace the latch assembly if switches are faulty or not adjustable.
