Amana Oven Error Code F4
Open oven temperature sensor
Common Causes
- 1Open oven temperature sensor
- 2Broken sensor lead in the cavity harness
- 3Corroded sensor connector at the rear
- 4Control board sensor-input failure
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Cut power and check the rod-style temperature sensor that projects into the upper rear of the Amana oven cavity
- 2
Unplug the sensor at the rear connector and read its resistance, treating an open reading as a failed sensor
- 3
Inspect the sensor leads and connector for a corroded or heat-damaged pin that opens the circuit
- 4
If the sensor and harness read good, the control board input has failed and the board needs replacing
Pro Diagnostic Tip
An open sensor reads as infinitely cold, so the control cannot trust the cavity temperature and locks out bake to stay safe. The rod sensor near the rear wall is the usual culprit and a straightforward swap, but always ohm the harness too, since a connector cooked by years of heat can open the same circuit.
