01

Cancel the clean and let the oven cool.

02

Look at the gasket around the oven opening for gaps or tears, and check that the door sits square.

03

Reset power for one minute; if F5 E5 returns on the next clean, book a visit.

What not to do

F5 E5 is not a door lock failure. The door locks; it is the heat the oven cannot hold during the clean.

Questions
about F5 E5.

Can I clear F5 E5 myself?
Cancel the clean and let the oven cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does my Whirlpool stop self-clean with F5 E5?
The oven did not get hot enough in the first 30 minutes. A leaky gasket or a door that does not close square is the usual cause Whirlpool names.
Can a bent hinge cause F5 E5 on my Whirlpool?
Yes. Whirlpool names the hinges, because a door that sags lets heat escape.
Does F5 E5 on a Whirlpool mean normal baking is affected?
A leaky door can make baking uneven too, but the code only appears during self-clean.

Back to your everyday

Still showing F5 E5?

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
