Oven displays F2 and may beep; oven may overheat or shut down during a bake or broil cycle.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. The oven can reach unsafe temperatures during this fault.

Step-by-step checks:

• Visual inspection: After cooling, inspect the oven cavity for foil covering vents, blocked air passages, or warped racks touching elements. Remove any obstructions.
• Check oven sensor resistance: Locate the oven temperature sensor (thin metal rod protruding from rear wall inside oven). Remove the rear panel or access from inside with two screws. Disconnect the sensor plug.
• Measure resistance: Using a multimeter on ohms, measure across the sensor leads. At room temperature (~70°F/21°C), Amana sensors should read about 1050–1100 Ω. If reading is open, shorted, or far outside this range, replace the sensor.
• Inspect harness: Follow the sensor wires to the control board. Look for pinched, burned, or melted insulation. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
• Control board check: If the sensor and wiring test good but F2 persists or the oven overheats, the bake/broil relay on the EOC may be stuck closed. Replace the EOC.

Note: Do not continue using the oven if it overheats or cannot regulate temperature; this is a fire hazard.
