What F5 E5
actually means.
F5 E5 appears when the oven fails to reach self-clean temperature within half an hour. Whirlpool points to the door hinges or the door gasket, since a door that does not seal lets the heat escape.

What to do when F5 E5 shows on the rangeKind of codeDoor and lock
The oven door lock did not move to where the control sent it, or its switch reported the wrong position. It shows up most around self-clean; the latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are looked at before the lock motor is changed.
Usually leads toDoor hinge, gasket and lock repair
An oven door that will not close, sits crooked, leaks heat, or stays locked after self-clean, traced to the hinges, the gasket, the glass or the lock.
Shows up asRange Self-Clean Problems
The self-clean cycle will not start, stops partway, leaves the door locked, smokes heavily, or leaves the oven dead afterward.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Whirlpool's own guidance for F5 E5 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Cancel the cycle, let the oven cool, and look for a torn or flattened gasket or a door that sits crooked.
Reset the breaker for one minute; if the code comes back on the next clean, book a visit for the hinges and seal.

It usually turns into door hinge, gasket and lock repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F5 E5 is not a lock motor code; Whirlpool uses other F5 and F9 codes for the latch and its switches.

Induction range
A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.
In Whirlpool's own words
