Quick answer
F5/E0 on a Kenmore 665 range: the door switch says open, the latch switch says locked.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F5/E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What thiscode means
F5/E0 means the door is open but the latch is locked.
F5/E0 on a Kenmore 665-series range, a family that pairs F-codes with E-codes, signals a conflict: the door switch reports an open door while the latch switch reports a locked one.
A simple test first
Open and close the oven door and watch the oven light. If the light does not switch on and off with the door, the oven door switch is the part to replace. If the light behaves, the next steps are on the lock side: with power disconnected or the range unplugged, any loose wires on the door lock assembly’s harness are reconnected, a damaged harness is replaced, and the door lock assembly is replaced when it is visibly damaged.
Watching the light is something an owner can do. Handling wires and lock parts is work for a technician.

Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
