How to fix it

  1. If the door is locked, let the oven cool completely first.
  2. Reset power: turn off the circuit breaker(s) for one minute, turn them back on, and watch the oven for one minute to see whether the code returns.
  3. If F5 E2 returns or the door stays locked, schedule service: the latch assembly is reached by removing panels, which is a technician job.
