Doing a self cleaning on a kenmore eletric range code E1 F5 comes up

E1-F5 is the error code which indicates a bad door switch. I work for a company that repairs failed timers, so if you need any more help you can always give us a call at 1-888-606-0090.

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.

Hi
This E1 F5 error code means that the control has detected a problem with the door latch switch. We would therefore recommend replacing the switch as it is defective.

The E1 and F5 is a code that the door latching system is creating a fault. YOu might be able to take apart the door latch mechanism, and recondition it.

Check that door switch is completely closed. Check latch, solenoid, and actuation switch for electrical or mechanical malfunction. One of these is the reason for the E1, F5 code.

My experience (Kenmore Ultra-bake Model 665-72002102) was that E1 F5 meant an error with the oven lock switch. In our case, the latch was partly stuck from food or other debris. Just moving the latch back and forth loosened the scale that was making it stick, and it worked again.

if it is a whirlpool, kitchen aid or kenmore by whirlpool you need to check the self clean latch asembly found on the rear of the unit. check the micro switches with an ohm meter. always remember to unplug the oven before you test any thing or replace parts. not sure why the broil wouldnt shut off. but the f5 error is definatly related to the door latch.
