Amana Range Error Code F1-C

F1-C means the electronic oven control board is not calibrated. The board stores calibration data that it uses to regulate oven temperature, and when that data is missing or corrupted, the control cannot function properly. This fault is internal to the control board and requires board replacement to resolve.

No, a power reset will not clear F1-C. Because the fault is caused by missing or corrupted calibration data stored inside the control board's memory, cycling power does not restore that data. The error will return each time the range is powered on until the control board is replaced.

The cost depends on whether you hire a technician or do the repair yourself. A replacement electronic oven control board for an Amana range typically runs in the range of $150 to $350 for the part alone, depending on the model. If you hire a repair technician, labor costs can add another $100 to $200, bringing the total repair cost to roughly $250 to $550.

The only recommended fix for F1-C is replacing the electronic oven control board. There is no technician-accessible recalibration procedure that can restore missing internal calibration data. If you are comfortable disconnecting power and swapping a control board, this is a repair some experienced DIYers can perform, but working inside an appliance always carries some risk and you should ensure the unit is fully unplugged before starting.

It is not recommended to use the oven while F1-C is active. Without valid calibration data, the control board cannot accurately regulate oven temperature, meaning the oven may not heat correctly or may behave unpredictably. Surface burners on a gas range may still operate, but the oven should be considered unreliable until the fault is resolved.
