Child lock code -5- has appeared.

The child lock code has appeared on the lower oven. We have followed the instruction under "troubleshooting" by turning the dial 3 times but this has not solved the problem. We have also swithced the electric supply off at source and switched on again but still no solution!

    After 2 weeks powered down (holiday), upon re-power, the -5- sign came up and despite following the troubleshoot guide (0 - light x 3) I cannot get rid of the -5- or get the oven to work.

Here is what worked for me.
Turn left to light on, then off
on/off (light)
on/off
on/off
(4-5 times)
do not run through the complete cycle of options
just to the light and back off.

Just got rid of permanant issue with -5- by holding down the 2 Arrowed buttons (beneath the clock) whilst turning the selector knob from fan assist (1st symbol) to oven (2nd symbol) and back, a few times (didn't count how many).
Prior to this I had de-powered then powered back up with selector at fan symbol (not sure if this had any effect on the outcome?)

If the oven is a B1691 the child lock has been activated and it is reset by pressing the central rotary button right in and holding it there for 8 seconds. This was accidentally activated by my wife and we lost use if it for two weeks looking for a solution, perhaps Neff could add a wife lock as well :)

Why is it showing a key symbol, an error code f10 and the door is locked?

usually a key symbol means that the appliance is safety locked. usually by holding down a button for 3-5 seconds to lock and holding down the same button to unlock. a child lock safety feature.

Shortly after end of 1 year warranty, KEMS378SSS04 began displaying F6E0 Lost Communication on lower over UI (not on the microwave). Turning power off/on (multiple times required sometimes) fixes the...

Hi,

Below is the complete instruction sheet.

You are having a communication error between the appliance. Here is the actual tech manual instructions for that code:

PROCEDURE: Before proceeding, press OFF, OFF, START to enter Diagnostic

mode and verify the error codes. Ensure AM software, UI software and EEPROM

CHECKSUM versions appear on the lower text line. If AM software and EEPROM

versions do not appear, UI and AM may not be communicating. Verify this for the

lower oven UI and for the microwave (upper oven) UI. The lower oven UI will show

the AM software version for the lower oven appliance manager, and the microwave

UI will show the AM software and EEPROM versions for the microwave appliance

manager.

If the lower oven UI is not displaying the AM software version, go to UI IS NOT

DISPLAYING AM SOFTWARE VERSION.

If the upper oven UI is not displaying the AM software and EEPROM versions,

go to UPPER OVEN UI IS NOT DISPLAYING THE AM SOFTWARE AND

EEPROM VERSIONS.

If lower oven UI and microwave UI are both displaying an error, go to LOWER

OVEN UI AND MICROWAVE UI ARE BOTH DISPLAYING AN ERROR.

UI IS NOT DISPLAYING AM SOFTWARE VERSION:

A. Unplug oven or disconnect power.

B. Open the back panels and make sure the P6 and P2 connectors are fully

inserted on the appliance manager and on the lower oven user interface board.

- If they are not plugged in, plug in connectors and go to step F.

- If they are plugged in, go to step C.

C. Visually inspect all wires between P6 on the appliance manager and P2 on the

lower user interface.

- Make sure wires are not cut or pinched.

- If the wires appear to be intact, perform a continuity check between

P6-1 of the appliance manager and P2-1 of the user interface board.

Complete for P6-2(AM) to P2-2(UI), P6-4(AM) to P2-4(UI) and P6-5(AM) to

P2-5(UI). All the measurements made should be less than 5 ?. If any of

these measurements exceeds 5 ?, go to step E.

D. Replace the appliance manager. Ensure all connectors are properly inserted.

E. Replace the wiring harness (signal). Ensure all connectors are properly inserted.

F. Replace all parts and panels before operating.

G. Plug in oven or reconnect power.

H. Observe for longer than 1 minute to determine if error has been repaired.

I. If error does not appear, initiate a bake cycle. Let the cycle run for at least

1 minute.

- If no error occurs, cancel the cycle, the problem has been repaired.

- If error occurs again, restart the troubleshooting procedure at step A.

At step D, replace the lower oven user interface board if appliance

manager has already been replaced.
- If both are replaced the problem has been repaired.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
