Amana AER6303MFS 30 in 4.8 cu ft Electric Range with Self-Cleaning Oven and Storage Drawer F5E1 Error Fix: Self-Clean Door Lock Failure

The oven door lock has failed specifically during the self-clean cycle. The door must lock before the oven will heat to self-clean temperature (approximately 900°F). If the lock motor does not run, check for voltage at the motor terminals. If voltage is present but the motor is silent, the lock motor has failed. If the motor runs but the lock does not engage, the lock linkage or cam is damaged. The door latch assembly is typically accessible by removing the top back panel of the range. Replace the entire door latch assembly — kits include the motor, switch, and linkage.
