Display shows F5E2, oven door remains locked after self-clean or power outage

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

Stuck latch motor, failed latch switch, control not receiving unlock signal, thermal damage to latch

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely.

Wait for cool-down: Ensure the oven cavity is at room temperature; the control will not unlock if it senses high temperature.
Manual unlock: Access the latch from the top or rear and manually move the latch arm to unlock the door.
Inspect latch assembly: Look for melted plastic or bent components. Replace the latch assembly if damaged.
Check wiring and control: Verify harness integrity. If latch and wiring are good, replace the control board.
