How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If any burning smell or smoke is present, disconnect power immediately.

  • Clear error: Press Cancel or Off to clear the display. Try re-entering the desired mode and temperature following the user manual sequence.
  • Power cycle: Turn off power at the breaker for 2–3 minutes, then restore. This can clear minor software glitches.
  • Keypad test: Press each button individually and confirm that the display responds correctly. Non-responsive or stuck keys indicate a keypad issue.
  • Inspect control panel: Check for moisture or cleaning fluid intrusion around the keypad. Allow the panel to dry completely if recently cleaned.
  • Replace keypad or EOC: If ERR persists and certain keys do not respond, replace the keypad/touch panel. If all keys respond but ERR still appears, the EOC may be defective.

Note: Always consult the specific American Range model manual for any model-specific error meanings.
