What F5 E0, F5 E1, F5 E2, F5 E3 or F5 E7 means
These codes belong to Maytag electric and gas freestanding and slide-in ranges such as the MER8650ES. F5 E0 and F5 E7 point to the oven door latch assembly, the door switch or the wiring. F5 E1, F5 E2 and F5 E3 point the same way but for the main oven door, which matters on double-oven ranges. The control cannot confirm the latch state. Owners see the code, and the oven may not run a bake or clean cycle, or the door may stay locked.
Common causes of F5 E0, F5 E1, F5 E2, F5 E3 or F5 E7
- Door latch assembly on the oven involved
- Door switch
- Wiring to the latch and switch
- On double-oven ranges, the main oven door circuit specifically
1. Let the oven cool, then close the door squarely and clear its edge. 2. Set the range's breaker to off for one minute, then restore it. 3. Switch it on again. 4. Monitor the oven for one minute to see whether the code reappears. 5. Verify oven operation without forcing the door.
- It is not obvious from the code which oven or which part is responsible on a double-oven range.
- We test the latch and switch on the correct oven and quote the work in writing before we start.
Other Range codes
Why does the code mention the main oven?
Some ranges have a second oven, and the codes for the main oven door differ from the others. If you have a single oven, the difference is only a technician's clue.
How do I tell which oven has the problem?
Notice which door will not lock, unlock or heat, and which oven stays cold. Tell us when you call, since it saves time when we trace the right circuit and bring the right parts.
Does the code mean the door is broken?
No. It means the control cannot confirm the latch state. The cause may be the latch, a switch or a wire, and we find which one by testing.
