Hi,
The error code F5 indicates the electronic control board has failed. The failure could be the sensor probe, loose or bad sensor probe wire harness connection .
This error code can sometimes be caused by a power surge or glitch through the electric lines. You can try shutting off the circuit breaker to the electric range for 2 minutes. If the code returns after powering the oven back up, then you will probably need to replace the control board.
Before replacing the control board, the sensor probe needs to be tested.
Remove the oven temperature sensor probe from inside the oven cavity. It will be protruding into the oven cavity at the upper left hand or upper right hand corner of the rear wall. It will be secured to the rear wall with two (2) screws. Remove the two screws and pull the oven sensor probe outwards and disconnect it from the quickly disconnect plug. The oven sensor probe will need to be tested with an ohm meter by measuring the resistance of the oven sensor. Measure the resistance by placing the meter leads across the two wires of the oven sensor. The resistance should measure 1100 ohms at room temperature (72 degrees).
If the ohm reading is close to the 1100 ohms it should be reconnected and measure where it connects at the Electronic Oven Control (EOC) board. If it measures the same, I recommend replacing the Electronic Oven Control board. If it does not measure at 1100 ohms, replace the oven sensor probe.
Hope this helps.

Hi
You can start the self cleaning cycle again and then stop it after 15 minutes, then let the oven cool for sometime and check if the door opens again, if the not then you have to take a screw driver and open the latch. After this the latch mechanism should be replaced as it is bad. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

The door latch assembly has gone bad and should be replaced....you can insert a screw driver to open it
Press and hold the light switch; the "locking mechanism" resets itself and then the door will open. Engaging the light switch for several seconds resets the entire locking mechanism and overrides the "Stop/Clear" button.
OK then insert the screw driver where the latch is and try opening it

Hi,
Press
the "Off/Clear' button to cancel anything on the display, and reset the
oven. This is a soft reset and will simply get you out of any
program you have started. If the problem still persist,
Perform
a hard reset. Pull the plug out of the wall power supply, and wait a
moment. Plug the oven back into the wall power supply to reset
any anomalies with the oven memory.

I have tried pressing the clear button, several times and unpluged the oven for over an hour and the problem still remains.
After using the self clean function on my Kenmore Elite electric range, I am getting an F5 code. I have tried resetting by pressing the stop button and the light button, even unplugging the range, but the door is still locked. Bryce
Tried the self clean again, it goes back to E5 after about a minute. What now? How to I unlock the door manually? Bryce
Where do I insert the screwdriver. I don't want to damage the cabinet.
I've tried holding the light button. The readout says loc off, but the little locked readout remains and the door is still locked I have held the light button for 2 minutes and still nothing else happens.
Where is the latch, do I need to lift the cooktop? If so how do I do that?
I have tried pushing the light button, the stop button, running the self clean again and unpluging the range. What do I do now? They keep telling me to open the door, with a screwdriver, but I can't even see the latch, how do I release it?
Have turned the power off for over hour. still F5 code. How do I get the door open to check the probe. I have been told about 4 times to open it with a screwdriver. HOW?
two little rectangular lights appear.manual says to hold buttons (-,+)simultaneously, no response
