Oven over-temperature detected

A stuck element can overheat the cavity. Leave the oven off at the breaker until the cause is found and repaired.
Stop using the oven and cut power at the breaker, since a stuck element can keep heating past a safe temperature
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
Inspect the bake and broil relays on the control for contacts welded closed that keep an element energized
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.
