What does F3E0 mean on a Amana range & oven?

The temperature probe inside the oven (the thin rod at the back wall, top) is reading open — the control sees no temperature. Earlier controls printed F3. F3E0 that returns is the oven temperature sensor — a part behind the back wall, a technician's job. The cooktop still works meanwhile.

What does F3E1 mean on a Amana range & oven?

The oven temperature probe is reading shorted — a temperature far higher than the oven could be. Earlier controls printed F4. F3E1 that returns is the oven temperature sensor or its wiring — a part, a technician's job.

What does F5E0 mean on a Amana range & oven?

The door switch says the door is open while the lock says it is locked, or the other way round. Earlier controls printed F5. F5E0 that returns with the door closing flat is the door switch or the lock motor assembly — a part, a technician's job.

What does F2E0 mean on a Amana range & oven?

The panel sees a key held down longer than a key is ever pressed — a shorted or stuck touch pad. A key that stays stuck after a cleaning is the touch panel or the control it is part of — a part, a technician's job.

What does F1E1 mean on a Amana range & oven?

The oven control board found a fault in itself or in its memory. Earlier controls printed F1. F1E1 that returns is the oven control board — a part, a technician's job.

What does PF mean on a Amana range & oven?

Not a fault. The power went out and came back; the clock is blinking and any bake that was running stopped. Nothing to fix. PF with no outage is a loose connection at the outlet or the breaker — an electrician's look.

Error codes · Amana · Ranges & ovens

Amana range & oven error codes: most of them are the oven sensor, the door, or a stuck key.

An Amana range prints an F code when the oven control finds something it cannot run through — the temperature sensor reading open, a door switch that disagrees with the lock, a key the panel thinks is held down. The newer controls print an F-and-E pair; the earlier ones of the same series printed a single digit for the same fault, and the tables list both. Most of the codes are a technician's part; LOC and PF are a button.

Covers: 2015-and-newer electric (AER6303, AER6603, ACR4303, ACR4503) and gas (AGR4230, AGR6303, AGR6603) ranges.

Before you clear it

Amana prints F-and-E codes on a display, or blinks a cycle light on a washer with none.

A newer display prints F-and-E (F3E0); an earlier one prints one digit (F3). The tables list the single digit as the alias of its F-and-E twin where it is the same fault.

The reset: press Cancel, then switch the range's breaker off (or unplug a gas range) for one full minute. A code that comes straight back is real; a code that shows only right after a self-clean is the heat of the clean — let the oven cool fully before judging it.

The tech sheet with the diagnostic is taped inside the back panel or under the cooktop and is written for a technician; there is no safe home entry.

A gas smell at any time: stop, open a window, do not light anything, leave the house if it is strong and call the gas utility from outside. No code on this page comes before that.

The model and serial plate is on the oven frame behind the door (open the door and look at the left or right edge) or in the storage drawer opening. Every warranty call starts with those two numbers.

Section 1 of 2

The oven sensor and temperature

F3E0#1

Also printed as F3 · F3 E0

Service call

Code

Oven sensor open

What it means

The temperature probe inside the oven (the thin rod at the back wall, top) is reading open — the control sees no temperature. Earlier controls printed F3.

Check first

Switch the breaker off (unplug a gas range) for one minute and set a bake. A sensor code that clears and stays gone was a power blip.
Look at the probe at the back of the oven cavity: it is straight and nothing has knocked it.

The fix

F3E0 that returns is the oven temperature sensor — a part behind the back wall, a technician's job. The cooktop still works meanwhile.

Stop & call

F3E0 after a reset is a service call on the oven sensor. On a machine under warranty, file it as a warranty call; the burners run while you wait.

F3E1#2

Also printed as F4 · F3 E1

Service call

Code

Oven sensor shorted

What it means

The oven temperature probe is reading shorted — a temperature far higher than the oven could be. Earlier controls printed F4.

Check first

Switch the breaker off (unplug a gas range) for one minute and set a bake.

The fix

F3E1 that returns is the oven temperature sensor or its wiring — a part, a technician's job.

Stop & call

F3E1 after a reset is a service call. On a machine under warranty, file it as a warranty call; stop using the oven until it is seen.

F3E2#3

Also printed as F2 · F3 E2

Check, then call

Code

Oven too hot — bake

What it means

The sensor read the oven over the limit for a bake or a broil. Either the oven overheated or the sensor is drifting high. Earlier controls printed F2.

Check first

Press Cancel and let the oven cool with the door closed for an hour.
Nothing is blocking the oven vent — foil on the oven floor or over a rack sends the heat where the sensor sits.
Reset (breaker off one minute) and set a bake at 350°F with an oven thermometer on the middle rack; judge it after 20 minutes.

The fix

An oven that holds 350°F on the thermometer and threw the code once was a one-off. An oven that overshoots, or prints F3E2 again, is the sensor or the control's bake relay — stop using the oven and call it in.

Stop & call

An oven that runs away from its setting is a stop-and-call: press Cancel, switch the breaker off, and leave the oven off until a technician has it. On a machine under warranty it is a warranty service call.

F3E3#4

Also printed as F3 E3

Check, then call

Code

Oven too hot — clean

What it means

The sensor read the oven over the limit during a self-clean.

Check first

Press Cancel and let the oven cool fully — the door stays locked until it has.
The oven vent was clear and the racks were out.

The fix

One F3E3 on a clean with racks in and a cool-down is a one-off; use the oven normally. A second one is the sensor or the control — a service call. Skip the self-clean until it is seen.

Stop & call

F3E3 that returns on the next clean is a service call. On a machine under warranty, file it as a warranty call; bake and broil still run, skip the self-clean.

Section 2 of 2

The door, the keys and the control

F5E0#5

Also printed as F5 · F5 E0

Check, then call

Code

Door switch and lock disagree

What it means

The door switch says the door is open while the lock says it is locked, or the other way round. Earlier controls printed F5.

Check first

Open the oven door all the way and close it firmly.
The lock latch at the top of the oven opening is not stuck part way out.
Reset (breaker off one minute).

The fix

F5E0 that returns with the door closing flat is the door switch or the lock motor assembly — a part, a technician's job.

Stop & call

F5E0 after a reset is a service call on the lock assembly. On a machine under warranty, file it as a warranty call; the cooktop runs while you wait.

F2E0#6

Also printed as F2 E0

Fix at home

Code

Key stuck

What it means

The panel sees a key held down longer than a key is ever pressed — a shorted or stuck touch pad.

Check first

Press each key once; feel for one that does not spring back.
Wipe the panel dry and clean — grease on a touch panel holds a key.
Reset (breaker off one minute).

The fix

A key that stays stuck after a cleaning is the touch panel or the control it is part of — a part, a technician's job.

F1E1#7

Also printed as F1 · F1E0 · F1 E1 · F1 E0

Service call

Code

Oven control fault

What it means

The oven control board found a fault in itself or in its memory. Earlier controls printed F1.

Check first

Switch the breaker off (unplug a gas range) for five full minutes and set a bake.

The fix

F1E1 that returns is the oven control board — a part, a technician's job.

Stop & call

F1E1 after a five-minute reset is a service call. On a machine under warranty, file it as a warranty call.

LOC#8

Also printed as Loc · LoC · Lock

Fix at home

Code

Control lock is on

What it means

Not a fault. The oven controls are locked so a child cannot turn the oven on; the display reads LOC or shows the lock icon.

Check first

Press and hold the key the panel marks Control Lock (on most models Cancel, or Start) for three seconds until the display clears.

The fix

The panel answers again. The cooktop knobs are never locked by it.

PF#9

Fix at home

Code

Power failure

What it means

Not a fault. The power went out and came back; the clock is blinking and any bake that was running stopped.

Check first

Press Cancel, set the clock, and start the bake again.

The fix

Nothing to fix. PF with no outage is a loose connection at the outlet or the breaker — an electrician's look.
