F5Warning

Maytag Oven/Range F5 Error Code

The self-clean door lock mechanism is not functioning properly, preventing the oven from locking or unlocking.

Common causes

  • Faulty door lock motor or switch assembly
  • Obstruction preventing door from closing fully
  • Wiring issue between lock and control board

How to fix it

  1. Turn off power at the breaker for 2 minutes and restore power.
  2. Check that the oven door closes completely and that nothing is blocking the lock latch.
  3. Listen for the lock motor when starting a self-clean cycle. If no sound, the motor may be faulty.
  4. Inspect the door lock assembly for visible damage or loose wires.
⚠ When to call a pro: If the lock assembly appears damaged or the motor does not activate, call a technician for replacement.
