F1-8 commonly means shorted membrane. Unplug or shut off the circuit breakers for 15 minutes, plug back in/turn back on, if problem persists replace membrane, if they are integrated parts replace control board (some come with membrane on parts vary)
Always shut off power before any repair attempts electrically

Thank you for your post, Allison! I understand that you are having concerns with your microwave oven heating. This could be because of several factors, such as: loss of power to the microwave, a displayed error message or a faulty magnetron. Please ensure that your household power circuit breaker is not tripped and that your appliance is not displaying an alpha-numeric error message or code on your control panel. If you notice an error message please comment and let me know so that I can help you further. Otherwise, if you do not notice any errors and have sufficient power you are more than likely experiencing a faulty magnetron. The magnetron is the sole component that allows the microwave to heat. This is not a typical do it yourself repair so I recommend contacting a professional to confirm this and complete any necessary repairs.
It's an error code that will not go away until a technician resets it. Quote straight from the manual :
"The oven may detect a fault during programming or during operation. If a fault is detected, the message "Fault detected - press power to clear" or "Fault detected - press enter to try again" may appear. Follow directions in the display. If the fault reappears or does not clear, call an authorized servicer or the toll-free number in the display. • If the same operation is attempted before having the wall oven repaired, the message "Feature not available" will appear. The feature will remain inoperable until service is obtained":
"Some models are
equipped with a sensor that can automatically adjust the oven's heating
time based on the amount of steam in the oven. If your microwave is
displaying E1, E4, or E5, there may be an issue with the gas sensor.
For an E1 error, press the Cancel button and check on the food.
"Other microwaves do not
give specific error messages and just display "8888" on the LED. If you
get this error message, your microwave needs service.
"If the message is
either ERROR or E-6, it indicates a mechanical fault.
"For all error indications, including the SE or 5E error,
try unplugging the microwave from the outlet for at least ten minutes
and then plug it back in. If the error persists, the microwave may
require service. Please use our ASC Locator to find your nearest Authorized Service
Center."
the only recommendation for clearance given by turbochef is there must be at least a 2 inch gap between the top of the oven and any shelf or work surface above it,
however experience tells me that you shoul have at least 4 - 6 inches of clearance all around to ensure sufficient coolin airflow if there is not sufficient airflow the oven will suffer from overheating with EC overtemp error messages being displayed, you should also bear in mind the requirement for clear access for the service technician should a problem arise
probably your button is dirty had carbon inside. do you hear a click sound when press it? if so , the IC did not received the signal, it need to be check by a technician.
You said, your broiler and oven won't work. That you set bake and it beeps and the bake light flashes but oven wont light.
Does the display flash any error codes, or just the bake light?
Fault codes
1. BAKE or LOCK may flash rapidly in the display to alert you if there is an error
or a problem. If BAKE or LOCK appear in the display, press the CANCEL pad.
2.If BAKE or LOCK continue to flash, disconnect power to the appliance.
3.Wait a few minutes, and then reconnect power. If the flashing still continues,
disconnect power to the appliance and call an authorized servicer.
4.If the oven is heavily soiled, excessive flareups may result in a fault code during
cleaning. Press the CANCEL pad and allow the oven to cool completely, wipe out
excess soil, then reset
For most concerns, try these first.
Check if oven controls have been properly set.
Check to be sure plug is securely inserted into receptacle.
Check or re-set circuit breaker. Check or replace fuse.
Check power supply
I'll check the repair manual to see what I can find. Let me know how it goes. Perhaps this will fix a glitch. Huuum Remember to leave a rating.
You said,you are about to close on a new house
and the home inspection noted the oven does not work. It's an electric
Amana convection range, model # ARTC7114WW. error message on display is
F4
If you want you can try to reset the system of the rang by throwing off
the breaker for 5 minutes and then trying it to see if it reset!
But it's old and this may not work on that range!
This oven is 10 years old from 1999.
The seller must fix it or you will not buy his home!
It is a buyers market! You have the power to demand anything you want within reason, or not.
People have houses on the market for a year now and can't sell them!
Didn't your home inspector tell you that the seller can not sell the home without a working range?
In New Jersey you can only take your fridge when you sell your home and the home owner must leave a working range !
Even if you expect to replace it once you move in, the seller must give you a working range.
Tell them you want $999.00 off the final sale price because you must replace the range!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The error message
F4, is for the seller and not the buyers problem to fix or repair !
Let me know what you find.
Now that I gave you good fatherly advice!
I wish you all the best in hat ever new home you buy!
Bless you,

Thank You Huuum
