Whirlpool Whirlpool WFG505M0BS 5.0 cu. ft. Freestanding Gas Range F5E2 Error Fix: Door Lock Will Not Unlock

Error code F5E2 on the Whirlpool Whirlpool WFG505M0BS 5.0 cu. ft. Freestanding Gas Range means: Door Lock Will Not Unlock. The oven door latch is stuck in the locked position and will not unlock after a self-clean cycle. The oven may have overheated during clean, welding the latch, or the unlock motor has failed. Wait for the oven to cool completely to room temperature (this can take 2+ hours after self-clean). Try pressing Cancel and waiting. If the door remains locked, disconnect power for 10 minutes and restore it — the latch motor may reset. If still locked, the latch assembly must be replaced. A qualified technician may need to manually release the latch.
