Kitchenaid Oven Error Code F5/E0

Encountering the F5/E0 error code on your KitchenAid oven signals a communication breakdown between the oven door switch and the oven door lock switch. In simpler terms, these essential components aren’t in agreement, potentially hindering the oven’s functionality.

Understanding the Issue:

This error requires a thorough examination of the oven’s electrical connections and key components. Start by disconnecting the electrical power to the oven, ensuring safety during the troubleshooting process.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Inspect Wires and Connections:

Begin by examining the oven door switch and the oven door lock assembly for any loose or disconnected wires. If loose wires are detected, reconnect them securely to restore proper communication between the components.

Examine the Wire Harness:
