Possible Causes
Incorrect sensor installed, Sensor resistance out of calibration, Poor sensor connection at EOC, Damaged sensor harness
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing the sensor or removing panels.
Step-by-step checks:
- Confirm sensor type: Ensure the oven temperature sensor installed is the correct Amana part number and style for your model.
- Measure resistance: At room temperature, measure sensor resistance at the EOC connector. It should be ~1050–1100 Ω. Compare to the resistance/temperature chart on the tech sheet.
- Check harness: If resistance at the sensor is correct but different at the control, the harness is adding resistance or is intermittent. Repair or replace the harness.
- Replace sensor: If the sensor is out of spec, replace it and clear the error by cycling power.
