Hi

Error code F5 indicates that there is an issue with the door latch switch assembly; if the switch tests open then the door lock assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Based on your description, the E1 F5 error code likely indicates that the door latch is not operating.

Make sure that the oven door is closed when you start the Self Clean cycle. Check the door switch to see if it is apparently operating properly. Open the oven door and the oven light should turn on. Press in the door switch plunger and the light should turn off. If the light switch is not operating properly, it could cause this type of problem.

If the light switch is operating properly, then you could have a failed door latch assembly. A wiring failure or a problem with the control board could also cause this failure. I recommend that you unplug the range and access the door latch assembly at the back of the range. Pull the upper and lower back panels off of the range. Caution: The edges on these panels can be sharp. Protective gloves are recommended. With the panels off, check the wire harness connections on the door latch assembly.

Hello,(1)Open the door and remove the two screws in the door lock latch plate on the edge of the door by backing them out with a Phillips screwdriver in a counter clockwise direction.
(2)Remove the two screws (located on the interior lock face plate)holding both halves of the lock assembly to the door by backing them out with a Phillips screwdriver in a counter clockwise direction,pull each side of the lock assembly from the door,using a flat blade screwdriver to pry them off if needed. (3)Pry the latch bolt out of the door by inserting the edge of a flat blade screwdriver under the latch plate on the edge of the door.slide the latch assembly out and set aside.(4)Insert the new latch assembly into the hole left by the old latch bolt.Trim the recessed opening with a sharp chisel if the new lock latch plate is larger than the old latch plate.Secure the latch to the door with the two screws provided by turning them in a clockwise direction with a Phillips screwdriver.(5)Hold both side of the new lock assembly to the holes in the faceof the door.Line up the shaft from the lock cylinder into the slotted hole in the latch assembly.Make sure the lock face plate with the screw holes is facing the inside.Attach the lock assembly to the door by turning in the screws with a Phillips screwdriver in clockwise direction.(6)Remove the old striker plate from the door jamb by backing out the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver in a counter clockwise direction.Install the striker plate that came with lock kit with the screws provided using a Phillips screwdriver in clockwise direction.
(7)Close the door and test the operation of the lock from the inside and outside using the turn lever and the key.Make adjustment to the striker plate if needed by removing the holding screws.Reposition the striker plate and replace the screws

Hi. The unit is programmed to not operate,or heat, when there is a serious fault within the door latch assembly. This F-9 code, represents a failed door latch assembly. This device must be replaced. Once replaced, the unit will operate correctly.

NOTE_ Try to reset the mechanism. This can be done by shutting down the power, or unplugging for five minutes. Once the five minutes have passed, simply, re-introduce power to the unit, and observe. if the error code returns, replace the door latch assembly.

The latch assembly should have a switch on it to indicate whether or not the door is open. Press in or sideways on the latch arm to simulate a door closed condition.
