KitchenAid gas range - Err message F5 E7 - cannot unlock door
We had a storm two weeks ago - the power went out briefly and this message came on - something occurred somehow and the message went off and the door was okay. Then the power surged on and off several more times that same day and the message came back on eventually. I haven't been able to turn it off or use the oven since then.

Good Morning, Sometimes an F5E1 will appear when the control board is faulty.. because it isn't properly driving the door latch circuit properly. If the door latch assembly is fully functional, we recommend sending in your oven control board to Fixyourboard.com for testing and/or repairs. Reach out to them at 512-355-1108 or [email protected] They also have replacement touchpads for this model oven if needed.
Pheo,
Turn Breaker/Fuse for the stove, your electrical panel, “OFF” and then “ON”, wait 20 - 30 seconds and the door should unlock.
It may be that the temp sensor is going out and you'll need to have that looked at soon.

Well, its 10:30 on a Saturday night, and I was so frustrated by my Kitchenaid Oven. I set it to clean, but afterwards it would not unlock. the display read F5:E7, which i found out means the door unlocker won't work.
So, how did i fix it, well there are two ways, to get your oven door open.
I only found this out after tinkering for 2 hours, and found the easiest way to get your oven going again:
Pull your range out so you can see behind it. You will see a rod in the upper center part of the oven. There is a cutout in the metal and you can see the solenoid that locks the oven. It is connected to a rod. This rod is what goes to the front of the oven and is what is keeping your door locked. Simply move that rod the opposide direction, it will click, and presto, your door is now open.
I never bothered to replace the solenoid, because I didn't know if it was bad, or the controller board. The Solenoid itself is $90, I don't want to even guess what the control board is.
So, not technically a fix, but it will get your oven open. Just don't clean it automatically any more!
Check wires and connectors from control to door switch, then from
door switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay,
proceed to step C.
Replace door switch.
Re-apply power.
Press and hold any key down for 1 minute to clear F5 failure code
from memory. F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to
ensure operation is correct.
2. If door not latched:
Disconnect power from unit.
Check wires and connectors from control to latch switch, then from
latch switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay,
proceed to step C.
Repeat steps A and B for door switch.
3. Measure door switch (door open = switch open small low voltage
terminals). Replace switch if defective.
4. Measure latch switch (unlatch = switch open, CAUTION - oven light
contacts are closed). Replace switch if defective.
5. If corrections are made in any step, reconnect power to control.
Press and hold any key for 1 minute to clear R failure code from memory.
F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to ensure
operation is correct.
6. If failure remains, disconnect power and replace control.
Check wires and connectors from control to door switch, then from
door switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay,
proceed to step C.
Replace door switch.
Re-apply power.
Press and hold any key down for 1 minute to clear F5 failure code
from memory. F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to
ensure operation is correct.
2. If door not latched:
Disconnect power from unit.
Check wires and connectors from control to latch switch, then from
latch switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay,
proceed to step C.
Repeat steps A and B for door switch.
3. Measure door switch (door open = switch open small low voltage
terminals). Replace switch if defective.
4. Measure latch switch (unlatch = switch open, CAUTION - oven light
contacts are closed). Replace switch if defective.
5. If corrections are made in any step, reconnect power to control.
Press and hold any key for 1 minute to clear R failure code from memory.
F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to ensure
operation is correct.
6. If failure remains, disconnect power and replace control.
The control (TIMER) has likely failed in this instance - BUT...
Sometimes when you disconnect power to a range and reconnect it the electronic range control gets confused. You should disconnect power again for 15 seconds and reconnect and see if that helps.
If it doesn't cure the E1- F5 error hold the bake button in until E0- F2 appears in the display. This is the error for a stuck button on the keypad and is the way to clear the memory of the electronic range control.
Sometimes these work, but if the control has failed it won't make any difference.

DOOR AND LATCH SWITCH DO NOT AGREE
DOOR LATCH NOT OPERATING.
PROCEDURE: Before proceeding, press OFF, OFF, START to enter
the Diagnostic mode and verify the error codes.
TO VERIFY DOOR SWITCH:
A. While in diagnostics, open the oven door. The second digit on the clock display
should toggle between “1” and “0” as the door opens and closes. When door is
closed display should show “1”, when the door is open display should show “0”.
If the second digit on the clock display did not toggle, go to step B.
If the digit did not toggle after replacing the door switch, go to step D.
If the digit did not toggle after replacing the door switch harness, go to step F.
B. Unplug oven or disconnect power.
C. Replace door switch. (If door switch is integral to the door latch motor
assembly, replace the entire door/latch motor assembly). Go to step H.
D. Unplug oven or disconnect power.
E. Check the integrity of the harness wires and connections between the
appliance manager and the door/latch assembly. Ensure there are no shorted
or pinched wires.
If the wiring harness is pinched or damaged, replace the door switch harness.
Go to step H.
If wiring harness is good, go to step H.
F. Unplug oven or disconnect power.
G. Replace appliance manager. Go to step H.
H. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
I. Plug in oven or reconnect power.
J. Press OFF, OFF, START to reenter the Diagnostic mode and complete checks.
Repeat step A.try this lighting may have knocked either the door switch or latch motor out
