Amana Oven Error Code F1-3

The F1-3 code on an Amana oven means the control board detected an over-temperature condition while the self-clean cycle was running. The oven shuts down automatically as a safety response. The most likely causes are a faulty oven temperature sensor, damaged sensor wiring, or a failing control board.

Disconnecting the oven from power for a few minutes may temporarily clear the F1-3 code, but if the underlying problem is not repaired, the fault will return the next time you run the self-clean cycle. A reset is useful for confirming the fault is repeatable, but it is not a permanent fix.

Repair costs depend on the faulty component. A replacement oven temperature sensor typically costs between $20 and $60 for the part, while a new electronic control board can range from $100 to $300 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall somewhere between $75 and $400.

Start by inspecting the oven temperature sensor and its wiring harness for damage, loose connections, or corrosion. If the sensor resistance value is out of specification, replace the sensor. If the sensor and wiring are both in good condition, the next step is to replace the electronic control board.

You should avoid using the self-clean cycle again until the fault is diagnosed and repaired. Normal baking and broiling functions may still work, but if a stuck relay or a genuinely out-of-control temperature condition caused the fault, continued use could be a fire hazard. Have the oven inspected before running another clean cycle.
