Possible Causes

Aging oven temperature sensor, Control calibration offset, Poor rack placement or load, Door gasket leaks

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing panels, but temperature testing is done with power on.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven thermometer in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Compare average temperature over 20–30 minutes to the set temperature.
  • Adjust calibration: Many Amana models allow temperature offset adjustment in the user settings (e.g., +/- 30°F). Follow the user manual to adjust.
  • Check sensor and gasket: If offset is large (>35°F), test the oven sensor resistance and replace if out of spec. Inspect the door gasket for gaps or tears and replace if leaking.
