Quick answer
A Whirlpool range shows F5E5 when self-clean temperature is not reached within 30 minutes.
Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F5E5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F5E5 reports that the oven did not reach self-clean temperature within 30 minutes.
Half an hour into a self-clean cycle, a Whirlpool range that has not come up to the needed temperature displays F5E5. The manual says the door hinges or the door gasket may be the problem.
The manual’s reset
Power the unit down at the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute and power it up again. Then stay with the oven for one (1) minute to confirm the code does not display again, and verify that the oven operates normally.
