These four codes share a KitchenAid explanation about the door latch assembly, the door switch or their wiring.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F05 / F5E0 / F5E1 / F5E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Questions and answers
What are the parts? By the manufacturer’s wording, there may be a problem with the door latch assembly, the door switch, or the wiring tied to them. As general descriptions, the latch assembly holds the door shut when needed and the switch lets the control know where the door is. KitchenAid itself does not describe them.
What can I do? Only the reset: breaker off, a minute of waiting, breaker on, a minute of watching the display, then a check that the oven runs.
Can I adjust the door? The article does not suggest adjusting or forcing it, and it describes no inspection by the owner.
Code still present
Technicians handle latch and switch trouble once the reset has not worked.
