What F22 means
F22 says the touch control module cannot talk to itself properly. Treat it as a module fault: reset once at the breaker, and book a technician if the code survives.
Error codes
Reference| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| F22 | There is an internal communication error on the touch control module . |
What you observe
- Keys do not respond, or respond erratically — The module that reads them is faulting.
- The display shows the code at power-up — The module checks itself as soon as power arrives.
- The code appeared after a power event — Surges are hard on small electronics.
- NEAR MISS: a pan or spill sits on the controls — That is pressure on the panel, a different code; clear it first.
What usually sets this code
- Touch control module failed — Most likely: the module’s own electronics have failed, which is what an internal error that returns after a reset means.
- Passing error after a power event — Second: a surge or dip can upset the module once, and a reset clears it for good.
- Heat or moisture reaching the module — Third: moisture or heat creeping into the module from above.
- Supply problem to the cooktop — Least likely: an unstable supply can make the module misbehave, and it shows up on other appliances too.
Check in this order
- Breaker reset — The one step that separates a one-off from a failed module.
- Let the controls cool and dry — If the code followed steam or a spill, give it time before the reset.
- Check other appliances after a power event — If others glitched too, the reset is probably the whole fix.
- Book module replacement if it returns — There is nothing else for an owner to test.
Clearing the code, then checking
- Breaker reset — Switch the cooktop’s breaker off for a minute, then back on.
About 2 min
- Cool and dry — Turn the zones off, let the glass cool, and dry the control area before the reset.
Tools: microfiber clothAbout 15 min
- Keep cookware off the controls — Move pans and utensils clear of the touch area while cooking.
About 1 min
- STOP here if the next check needs a panel off — Anything behind a panel is a power-off technician job, and the tests that follow it are made on live circuits.
Safety for this cooktop
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. On a cooktop that usually means the breaker, because the unit is wired into a junction box under the counter. Do not use a cooktop with cracked glass.
When to call a technician
Book a technician once a clean reset fails to hold. The fix is the touch control module itself, fitted under the glass, and there is nothing behind it for an owner to adjust.

Generalized information
This is generalized information: it reads F22 the way Amana documents it for Amana electric and induction cooktops with touch controls. It does not apply to Amana gas cooktops, Amana ranges, whose surface codes are listed with the oven codes, or sister brands on the same platform, whose lists can read differently. No model-specific page for F22 exists yet; when one does, it is the more specific answer for that model line.
