What F5 E0, F5 E1, F5 E2, F5 E3 or F5 E7 means
This family of codes on Maytag built-in wall ovens, such as the MEW9527FZ and MEW5630, all concern the door. F5 E0, F5 E1 and F5 E2 point to the door latch assembly, the door switch, or their wiring. F5 E7 names the oven door latch assembly, the door switch and the wiring. F5 E3 is more specific and names the lower oven door latch on a double oven. The control cannot confirm the door state, so you may see the code, a door that will not unlock, or a cycle that will not begin.
Common causes of F5 E0, F5 E1, F5 E2, F5 E3 or F5 E7
- Door latch assembly on the affected oven
- Door switch
- Wiring to the latch and switch
- For F5 E3, the lower oven door in particular
1. Close the door fully and check for anything caught in it. 2. Switch off the oven's breaker for one minute, then switch it on. 3. Watch the display for a minute to see whether the same code returns. 4. If it stays clear, run a short bake and make sure the door unlocks when the cycle ends.
- Several codes lead to the same group of parts, so the exact digit mostly tells us which door to start with
- We test the switch and latch circuit before recommending a part
- The price is agreed in writing before any work, with a 30-day workmanship warranty on the repair
Other Wall Oven codes
Which door does F5 E3 refer to?
The lower oven door on a double wall oven. The other codes in this family refer to the oven door in general. Tell us your code and whether you have one oven or two.
Can I use the other oven while one door shows a code?
Often you can, since each cavity has its own latch. Test the other oven with a short bake. If both show problems, the control may be involved and we check it too.
Is this repair common on older ovens?
Yes. Latches and switches see daily use and wear over many years. Many of these ovens are still worth repairing, and we tell you honestly when a repair is not sensible.
