Kenmore Range Error Code F5-E0

F5-E0 means the door switch and the latch switch are sending conflicting signals to the control board. Specifically, the door switch is reading open (indicating the door is open) while the latch switch is reading closed (indicating the door is locked). This disagreement triggers a fault that prevents normal operation. The root cause is usually a failed door switch or a wiring problem in the door switch circuit.

You should not attempt to run a self-clean cycle while this fault is active, since the control cannot confirm the door is properly secured. Surface burners may still function depending on the control logic, but the oven should not be used until the door switch fault is resolved to ensure the door locking system operates correctly.

If the fix requires only reseating a connector, there may be no parts cost at all. Replacing the door switch typically runs in the range of $15 to $60 for the part, depending on the specific model. If a technician performs the repair, expect labor costs on top of the part, which can bring the total to somewhere between $100 and $250 depending on your area and the service provider.

Many technicians and experienced DIYers can resolve this code by inspecting and reseating connectors or replacing the door switch. Start by disconnecting power to the range before doing any inspection. If checking the wiring connections does not resolve the fault, replacing the door switch is the next step and is a manageable repair for someone comfortable working with appliance wiring.

Disconnecting power briefly may clear the code temporarily, but if the underlying hardware fault remains, the error will return once the control rechecks the door switch and latch switch signals. A reset is a useful first step to confirm whether the fault is intermittent, but it does not substitute for diagnosing and repairing the door switch or wiring.
