Amana Oven Error Code F2
Oven over-temperature detected
Common Causes
- 1Shorted oven temperature sensor reading low
- 2Stuck bake or broil relay holding the element on
- 3Control board relay welded closed
- 4Runaway element with no temperature control
A stuck element can overheat the cavity. Leave the oven off at the breaker until the cause is found and repaired.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Stop using the oven and cut power at the breaker, since a stuck element can keep heating past a safe temperature
- 2
With power off, read the oven temperature sensor resistance against the Amana chart, since a shorted sensor makes the control drive the element too hard
- 3
Inspect the bake and broil relays on the control for contacts welded closed that keep an element energized
- 4
If the sensor reads correctly, the control board relay is the likely runaway point and the board needs replacement
Pro Diagnostic Tip
This code trips when the control reads a temperature above a safe ceiling, which is either a sensor lying low or a relay stuck on. Test the sensor first because it is the cheaper and more common cause, but never keep running the oven while it posts, as a genuine welded relay is a real overheating hazard.
You Might Also Notice
- •The oven overheats or scorches food
- •The cavity gets far hotter than the set point
- •The code appears during bake or broil
