Amana ACF7225AW, stove does not stay at desired temperature. Using an independent temperature probe, I measure that the desired temperature has been reached. After opening the door, the temperature drops(naturally). THen the temperature does not recover, after ten minutes the temperature has not returned to the desired set temperature. I have checked the temperature probe and it tests out with a test meter.

    Thanks to everyone who passed on a solution. It appears that many are having a similar problem across many brands. We will keep muddling along with what passes for a "normal" situation. Thanks again.

SOURCE: Preheat beep indicator is inaccurate

A standard oven thermometer is not very sensitive. The reason is because the oven temp varies 50-75 degrees during the cycle and you don't need to know this when baking, you just need to know the median temp.
When checking the oven temp, you don't adjust anything until the oven has cycled at least 5 times. It takes that long for the cavity temp to stabilize. Since the temp on your thermometer does level out at the proper temp, I don't think you have a problem with your oven. I would assume they checked the temp with an electronic probe.
Adjusting the temp offset at the ERC is about all you can do without replacing the ERC or sensor if the temp is actually off.
Don't laugh about the federal regulations. The Dept. of Energy set oven temp/cycle time regulations that went into effect Jan '05.
They set regulations on hot water wash temps for new washing machines that just went into effect Jan '07.

SOURCE: probe light

I had the same problem today (my wife overflowed a pot of chicken stock last night, so there was liquid all over the cook-top, and some probably got down behind the control pannel). Based on the solution to a problem that seemed similar, though definitely not as exact as your description, I checked the probe connection (unscrewed the retaining nut, then unscrewed the two sheet metal screws holding the housing in place, then gave the probe connection a gentle tug to ensure that it was still properly connected). Finding nothing wrong, I replaced the housing and retaining nut, and the lights were no longer flashing.

SOURCE: KitchenAid Gas Range Temperature Probe

We had the same problem, and we tricked it into running it's cycle be doing the following;

1. Wrap a wet paper towel around the probe, plug it in, and close the door. Then follow the temp. probe directions in the manual:
2. Set probe temp. at 130 degrees, then select a bake cycle. We selected convect bake.
3. Set oven temp for 275 degrees, but maybe any temp over the probe temp would work.
4. Then start. The cycle took 12 minutes to complete, and when it was finished, turn the oven off and then open the door and unplug the probe.
5. Now everything works fine.

I have a Frigidaire stove showing a default code f31

The F31 error code indicates a shorted oven temperature sensor probe or a shorted sensor circuit. The normal troubleshooting for this type of failure involves unplugging the range and checking the resistance of the oven temperature sensor probe using a volt/ohm meter. The normal resistance of this probe at room temperature is about 1100 ohms. If the sensor measures less than 500 ohms, it will need to be replaced. If the sensor appears to be okay, you can check the wiring (with the range still unplugged) between the probe and the ERC (Electronic Range Control board). A wiring failure could also cause this problem. NOTE: You should only access and check internal range components if you are completely confident in your technical ability to safely perform the process. Internal metal edges in the range can be sharp. Protective gloves are recommended.

If you are not able to find a problem with the probe or the wiring, then you could have a failed electronic range control (ERC) board. Replacing the temperature probe may fix this problem if the wiring is okay. If you replace the probe and still have a problem, then it is likely that the ERC control board will need to be replaced.

How to regulate flame on a gas oven stove

On a gas stove, you simply choose the desired temperature. If the stove is operating normally, it will automatically adjust the flame.

I have a Gas Amana Range. The stove top works fine, but the oven will not heat when I select a temperature or broil. I can hear it making noise, but still no heat!

Hi.

If the oven is not baking or broiling test the temperature probe sensor located inside the oven cavity. To test the sensor read impedance (Ohms) using a multimeter. If the reading is infinity, then the sensor must be replaced.

If sensor is OK, the problem is usually either broiling or baking. In that case check igniter and valve coils, the flame sensor does not fail very often.

Regards.

Hi there. Our Moffat stoveModel 24K60 has been in service since 1966, and, with a few minor service calls is still ticking along. No pun intended, but that's the problem. The clock is not only...

Hello there schematics for your unit will be next to impossible to find on the internet. My guess is that your unit uses a manual type timer as units that old usually have the timer independent of the other functions of the unit.therefore you wont be able to find any wires which power the unit. Mostly the timer will run on its own as a result of sensors on the unit. Both options which you have considered are gud but lubricating the bearings seems more likely although getting at it might be a bit difficult what you need is a watch expert usually they have methods of loosing out the entire clock mechanism taking it for servicing and fixing it back on your unit this way the bearing noise will stop. Also if you decide to take of the clock completely the same procedure applies.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Stove shuts off and posts F10 on readout

The F10 indicates that the electronic oven control board senses a runaway temperature condition in the oven through the oven sensor circuit.
This can be caused by a faulty oven temperature sensor probe or a failed electronic control board.
Oven temperature is detected by the control board as it monitors the resistance through the oven temperature sensor circuit.
You could have a failed oven temperature sensor, a wiring harness failure, an open thermal switch or a failed electronic oven control board that would cause this problem.
The first component to check would normally be the oven temperature sensor probe.
If you have a volt/ohm meter, you can shut off the breaker for the range and remove the screws that mount this sensor to the back wall of the oven.
Carefully pull the wire harness into the oven cavity until you get to the wire harness disconnect plug.
You should have enough slack to pull it this far into the oven.
Disconnect the sensor but do not let the wire harness retract back through the back wall of the oven or it will be hard to reconnect.
Measure the resistance of the oven temperature sensor with your volt/ohm meter. At room temperature, the resistance should measure around 1100 ohms.
The resistance chart is shown in the image below.

If the resistance is above 2200 ohms at room temperature, then the sensor probe is causing the F10 error code and will need to be replaced.

You can order a new sensor probe from the Sears PartsDirect website. The part number for the sensor is 316217002.

If the resistance is normal, then one of the other causes mentioned above is producing your F10 code.
You would need to access the electronic oven control board (Timer) in the console and check the resistance at the sensor circuit connection to the control board as the next step in troubleshooting this problem.

F30 Erorr on stove...

The fault code shows that your temperature probe opened.

1. Check resistance at room temperature & compare to RTD Sensor resistance chart.
If resistance does not match the RTD chart replace RTD Sensor Probe.
Check Sensor wiring harness between EOC & Sensor Probe connector.

2. Check resistance at room temperature, if less than 500 ohms, replace RTD Sensor Probe. Check for shorted Sensor Probe harness between EOC & Probe connector.

I self cleaned my Amana oven model acf7225aw. During the cleaning there was a huge pop and then all power was shut off to the oven (no power to clock or anything). We flipped the breaker- another pop. ...

Yes you probably have a burned out bake or broil element in the oven. They usually short out to the frame when they go and can have some interesting results. A direct short probably burned out half of the circuit breaker and you are now only getting 120 volts to the stove and its feeding back through the shorted element and giving some heat. Unplug the stove reset the circuit breaker and test the outlet for proper power. Outer holes will read 220 volts to each other and 110 volts to the middle hole. Replace the circuit breaker if needed. Usually when an element burns out it is visible. If not remove both bake and broil elements and take them to the parts store and ask them to see which one is bad. It is very unlikely they both burned out.

Tappan Oven overheats!!


If you have electronic controls, you'll need either the temperature probe (about $60.00) or the clock (about $150.00). You can test the temperature probe from behind the machine. It should read about 1080 ohms at room temperature. if the probe is good, replace the clock.

If you have mechanical oven controls, you need a new thermostat. Is the too high temp consistent? (i.e. runs at 375F +/- 25F?) If so, you can usually adjust the thermostat **** to read closer to the actual temperature.
