Error code F5/E1
Appliance Range
Quick answer

The F5/E1 latch code on Kenmore 665 model ranges, with its checks in a short list.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F5/E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

F5/E1 is a self-clean latch that will not lock or unlock.

F5/E1 explained

This code on a Kenmore 665 model range says the self-clean latch won’t lock or won’t unlock.

The chart’s steps

  • Disconnect power or unplug the range.
  • Reconnect any loose wires on the door lock assembly’s wire harness.
  • Replace the harness if it is damaged.
  • Replace the door lock assembly if it is visibly damaged.

Unplugging is the only step meant for an owner; the others are what a technician checks.

F5/E0 is the door-open, latch-locked mismatch, F5 is a separate lower oven sensor code, and F6 is an upper oven overheating code.
