Amana Range Error Code F2

F2 on an Amana range means the control board has detected an oven cavity over-temperature condition. The board monitors heat through the oven temperature sensor and acts on signals from the temperature limiter. This code can appear because the oven actually overheated, or because the sensor, limiter, or their wiring is sending a faulty signal to the control board.

Start by disconnecting power to the range for at least one minute, then restore power and check whether the code returns. If it does, inspect the oven temperature sensor wiring harness for visible burns, shorts, or loose connections at both the sensor and control board ends. Test the sensor's resistance with a multimeter at room temperature, it should read approximately 1080 to 1100 ohms. Also locate and inspect the temperature limiter for continuity. Replace any component that tests out of spec.

Yes, F2 commonly appears after a self-clean cycle because self-clean runs the oven at temperatures between 800 and 950 degrees Fahrenheit. This extreme heat can trip the temperature limiter, which is designed to cut off at a set threshold. If the limiter trips and does not reset on its own after the oven cools completely, it will need to be tested for continuity and replaced if it has failed open.

No, you should not continue using the oven portion of your range while F2 is active. The code indicates either a real overheating condition or a failed safety component, both of which need to be resolved before operating the oven again. The stovetop burners may still function depending on your model, but the oven should remain off until the sensor, wiring, and temperature limiter have been inspected and any faulty parts replaced.

The oven temperature sensor is typically the least expensive repair, with parts costing roughly 20 to 50 dollars and the replacement being manageable for most DIY homeowners using a screwdriver and a multimeter. A temperature limiter is similarly priced. If the control board is causing the heating element relay to stick and is the root cause, board replacement can run 150 to 300 dollars or more for parts alone, and professional labor adds to that cost.
