it is an electrical problem and if you do not get in a qualified technician to fix the problem it is a jail term for any one not qualified who works on, or authorizes any work by unqualified persons should any person get a shock or be killed

The E1- F5 error is a door lock error.

The control (TIMER) has likely failed in this instance - BUT...

Sometimes when you disconnect power to a range and reconnect it the electronic range control gets confused.
You should disconnect power again for 15 seconds and reconnect and see if that helps.

If it doesn't cure the E1- F5 error hold the bake button in until E0- F2 appears in the display.
This is the error for a stuck button on the keypad and is the way to clear the memory of the electronic range control.

Sometimes these work, but if the control has failed it won't make any difference.

You need to check the continuity of the wires from the mains plug to the main heating coil. This means that the switch and the circuit to the heating coils will confirm the short. If the heating element is short then the main line should be removed to confirm the short and so the circuit will not trip.

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

It sounds like the hi-limit safety thermostat may be tripped, that is the component that typically trips/activates during a self clean on many ranges.

Unfortunately you'll need to pull the oven from the cabinet. If you pull/slide the unit away from the wall and unplug it you can replace the hi-limit. It will be a non-reset type hi-limit (based on the model number you posted) so needs to be replaced as I mentioned, doing so will get you back up and cooking in no time.

**Unplug the range from the wall first of course...safety first**

Once you remove the panel you will need to look for a switch/thermostat which looks like this...



Let me know how you make out. Good luck. I'll watch for your reply and if you need anything further I'll be glad to help in any manner I can.

It's possible the lower bake element is not working. If the oven takes a long time to come up to temperature, that's a good indication that a baking element (bottom, broil element is on top) is bad.

It sounds like the electronic timer/clock is in the automatic mode. It must be in the manual mode for the oven to work.

1.
Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control
board).
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace
keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate
keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board
(also called ERC or clock).

If the oven is getting power it's probably one or more of the thermal fuses. There is a thermal fuse in the wiring harness that feeds the control board. Accessible from the front. The other fuses are chassis mounted on the back or top.

Hello,verify that the oven is connected to its power source.The oven may sometimes lock down if experiencing a power surge or similar electrical problems.Additionally, check that a fuse hasn't been blown in your home's fuse box.Some older homes may not have the proper wiring to support a high power appliance such as a whirlpool oven.If not you are not sure your wiring is sufficient,consult a local electrician.
Thanks

if u used self clean and now u have problems more than likely u blow out the thermosat on the backside of the unit, this is kinda common with these it gets so hot inside that these thermostats blow..... to check it remove side trim pieces usually screws...turn power of at breaker to unit first.... then remove moutning screws that hold it into cabinent..... get two people and remove wall oven,, then remove back panel to get acess to thermostat... test it with a meter for continuity if it reads somethin its good or closed circuit, if it reads nothin it is an open circuit and a bad part,,,,,,if that checks out okay then ur control board may be effective... hopefuully this helps most thermostats are usually 40-90 dollars.. let me know

all you need is a regulator or a thermostat

HI,
This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

thank you,
