Error codeF5 E5
ApplianceWall Oven
Start at the breaker panel
Nothing on the oven itself needs to be opened for this first attempt; the whole routine takes place at the panel and the display.
Open the breaker(s) serving the oven and keep them open for one full minute.
Close them again.
Look at the display for a minute and confirm F5 E5 has not returned.
Verify oven operation to finish.
If the code does come back, a technician visit is the next step.
Meaning of F5 E5
The entry applies to wall ovens without naming a series, so it is not limited to one model family. Maytag lists the Oven Door Latch Assembly, the Door Switch and their wiring as the possible origin.
Ready to book? Use Maytag wall oven repair or ring (415) 649-2156 from anywhere in San Francisco or the surrounding area. We will ask for the code, your model number and the steps you have already taken.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F5 E5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
