How to Fix F5 E2 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the washer from its power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Open the washer door and check for any obstructions on the door or the locking mechanism that could prevent a secure closure.
If the path is clear, you will need to replace the door lock. Remove the top panel by unscrewing it from the back.
Locate the door lock assembly (Part No. W11307244) on the front frame of the washer chassis.
Unplug the electrical connector from the lock and remove the mounting screws.
Fit the new door lock into place, secure it with the screws, and plug in the electrical connector.
Re-secure the top panel, plug the washer in, and run a test cycle.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
