What F37 means
F37 names a temperature sensor on an induction coil. The coil may still heat, but the control cannot trust its temperature reading, so the zone should not be used until the sensor is checked.
Error codes
Reference| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| F37 | There may be a problem with a temperature sensor on an induction coil. |
What you observe
- The code appears with a particular zone — That points at that coil’s sensor.
- The zone overheated or boiled dry before the code — A sensor stressed by real heat.
- The code appears on a cold cooktop — Then the sensor reading is wrong, not the heat.
- NEAR MISS: every zone shows the code — That points at the power board or control, not a single coil sensor.
What usually sets this code
- Coil sensor failed — Most likely: the sensor itself, after years of heat cycles under the coil.
- Sensor connector loose — Second: the sensor lead loosens at its connector.
- Real overheating of the coil — Third: genuine heat from cookware left on high.
- Power board reading — Least likely: the board that reads the sensors fails.
Check in this order
- Identify the zone — Run each zone in turn.
- Let the cooktop cool and retry — A real overheat clears once cool.
- Breaker reset — Rules out a one-off reading.
- Technician measures the sensor — Under the glass, with the power off.
Clearing the code, then checking
- Zone test — Run each zone in turn with a pan of water and note which one shows the code.
Tools: pan of waterAbout 10 min
- Cool down — Let the cooktop cool fully, then retry the zone.
About 30 min
- Breaker reset — Switch the breaker off for a minute, then on.
About 2 min
- STOP before testing anything with a meter — Live-voltage checks and part tests are where the owner side of this code ends.
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
Call when the same zone shows the code after cooling and a breaker reset. The coil sensor sits under the glass with the coil, and replacing it means lifting the cooktop with the power off.

Which models this reading covers
Generalized information for Amana electric and induction cooktops with touch controls. It is not a reading for 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. The details that change inside the line, such as wiring colours, part numbers and connector locations, belong on model pages, and none is published for F37 yet.
