Amana Oven Error Code F1-C

The F1-C code means the electronic control board is not calibrated. The board has either lost its calibration data or the data has become corrupted. This is an internal control board issue and not related to the temperature sensor or wiring. Replacing the control board is the recommended fix.

An uncalibrated control board means the oven cannot reliably regulate temperature, so using it for cooking is not advisable. The oven may not heat accurately or may behave unpredictably. It is best to avoid using the oven until the control board has been replaced.

The cost of a replacement control board for an Amana oven typically ranges from $150 to $350 or more depending on the specific model. If you hire a technician, labor costs will add to that total, bringing the overall repair cost to a range of roughly $250 to $500 or higher. Getting a parts quote for your specific model number before committing to the repair is a good idea.

The repair for F1-C is control board replacement, which is a task many experienced DIYers can complete. The board is typically located behind the oven's control panel and requires disconnecting wire harnesses and mounting screws. However, if you are uncomfortable working with electrical components, a professional technician is recommended.

A reset by cutting power at the breaker for several minutes may temporarily clear the display, but the F1-C code will return if the control board's calibration data is corrupted or missing. A reset does not repair the underlying board failure, so replacement is still required for a permanent fix.
