What F5 E4 means

F5 E4 is displayed by Maytag built-in wall ovens and refers to the lower oven. Specifically, it points to the lower oven door latch assembly, the door switch, or the wiring between them. On a double oven this tells you the trouble is in the bottom cavity's door mechanism, and not in the upper door. The control cannot confirm the position of that lower door, so it shows the code. The lower oven may refuse to heat, or the door may stay locked after a cycle.

Common causes of F5 E4

  • Lower oven door latch assembly
  • Lower door switch
  • Wiring to the lower latch
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that the lower door is closed all the way and nothing blocks it. 2. Turn off the circuit breaker for the oven for one minute. 3. Turn the breaker on again. 4. Wait a minute to see if F5 E4 returns, then run a short bake in the lower oven.

! Why to stop there
  • We still need to learn whether the latch, a switch or a wire is responsible
  • If the lower door is locked shut, forcing it can bend the latch, so wait for us
  • Cost first on paper, warranty on the work for 30 days after
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F5 E4F5 E4 questions
Will the upper oven still work with F5 E4?

Usually it should, because the code is about the lower door. A brief bake will show you. If the upper oven shows problems too, tell us so we check the control as well.

The lower door will not open. What now?

Try the breaker reset first. If the door stays locked, do not pry it. Prying can damage the latch and the door, and we can release and repair it properly.

Is F5 E4 different from F5 E3?

Both name the lower oven door latch assembly, the door switch and the wiring. The two digits may reflect different conditions the control noticed, and we test the same circuit for each.
