Quick answer
F5E0 on a Whirlpool range may involve the oven door latch, the door switch or their wiring.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F5E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

The problem may sit in the oven door latch assembly, the door switch or the associated wiring
First move
Cut power for one (1) minute, restore it and watch
If the code returns
After power is back on, keep an eye on the oven for one (1) minute. When F5E0 stays off the display and the oven operates properly, the reset did the job. A code that comes back means the latch, the switch or the wiring needs a technician.
Related door codes
Compare with F5E2 and F5E3, which both refer to the main oven door latch, or with F5E5, a self-clean temperature message.
