What this code means
The control receives door-switch and latch-switch signals that do not agree. F5E0 applies to the main or upper oven; F5E3 applies to the lower oven.
Most likely causes
- The door is not fully closed or the latch is mechanically obstructed
- A failed door switch or latch-position switch
- A misaligned door, hinge or latch mechanism
- A damaged harness or appliance-manager input circuit
Safe checks for the owner
- Let the oven cool completely and confirm that nothing blocks the door or latch opening.
- Do not force the door, especially after self-cleaning.
- Disconnect power for five minutes and retry once only after the cavity is cool.
Estimated U.S. repair cost
$220–$430, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
