Do i need a new Key pad or control unit

This means that the Control Panel is locked. This feature is useful when you are cleaning the range/oven's top and control panel. It also keeps small children from doing any damage pressing buttons on the unit when unsupervised.

Unlocking the control panel often depends on the make/model. Some ovens have a control lock key. With the cooktop and oven off (use the Cancel/off button if needed), press and hold the control lock key for 3+ seconds until you hear the beep. This toggles the control panel lock. If you continue to press the button, it will go switch states again. (On a ~10 year old GE Profile range, the button is labeled Lock Controls. This is to the right of the display on the lowest line of keys.)

Some ovens may toggle the control lock by pressing and holding Start for 5+ seconds. Often, the control lock button or keypad combination will be indicated by a note in a much smaller font on the control panel. If two buttons need to be pressed simultaneously, there will be a line between them with a symbol in that line.

Please add a comment with the make and model of your range for more information.

The F2 E5 error indicates that there is a fault between the key pad and the control unit. (The wiring is giving an "open" fault.)

Press Cancel and wait 60 seconds. If the error recurs, you need to get behind the keypad and check that the wiring is securely connected to the keypad and the central control unit. Inspect the wires for any breaks. Check each conductor for continuity on each side of the wiring harness, if possible. Reconnect the wiring and press Cancel again. If the error recurs after 60 seconds, you'll need to replace the keypad or the keypad and control unit. (KitchenAid provides the keypad and control unit as a single assembly for some models.)

If your oven is still under warranty, contact KitchenAid for service.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number of your oven for details on the appropriate replacement parts.

Unfortunately, the high temperature limit sensor probably failed during the self-clean cycle. The oven control unit will not receive the signal that the oven is cool enough to unlock the door without the sensor.

If the oven is cool, you can try unplugging the oven for a while and then see if the oven unlocks after power is restored. Pressing the Cancel button several times (or pressing and holding Cancel, depending on the model) may also work. Sometimes, starting a new cleaning cycle and then stopping it (and waiting for the oven to cool) will work.

However if the sensor has failed, the above steps are unlikely to work. You can try to move the lock manually. On some models, you can use a bent coat hanger to slide between the oven door and the frame and push the lock over. On other units, you might open the back panel and rotate the lock mechanism cam.

The oven will not work until the high temperature sensor is replaced. Sometimes the lock mechanism fails and that is what needs to be replaced. If the oven works, then look at replacing the lock motor.

I hope this helps. If your oven is under warranty, contact GE for the repair. Please add a comment with the model of your unit for specific information on the parts you may need.

Your model is actually a 911. Roper (Whirlpool)

The F2 error code is

E0 - Shorted keypad (also called touch pad)

E1 - Keypad cable unplugged

E5 - Cancel key drive line open

E6 - Cancel key drive line open

Solutions:

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).

Usually means that either the touch pad or the oven control (also called clock or ERC) is defective and needs to be replaced. If this fault code cannot be cancelled, replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC), touch pad, or both.

This is usually a keypad stuck key error, usually caused by a bad keypad or sometimes caused by your control board.
F7 usually means a stuck key on the keypad. I've also seen it caused by a greasey buildup on the keypad connector into the control board. Try pressing each button on the keypad followed by cancel. See if the buttons are registering with the control - should get a beep or some function (execpt up/down buttons need a cook or time function enabled first). If one of the buttons seems inoperative it may be stuck, in which case you probably need a new keypad.

Hi. This Usually means that either the touch pad or the oven control (also called clock or ERC) is defective and needs to be replaced. If this fault code cannot be canceled, replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC), touch pad, or both.

HI, this is referring to the cancel key on your key pad. It is stuck open. follow the procedure below.

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).

HI, this is a faulty key pad issue. check the following.

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).

The touch pad may be defective. There is a membrane behind the buttons that will cause problems like that. The only cure is to replace the touch assy.
