20 Most Recent Amana ACS7270AS Electric Kitchen Range Questions & Answers

Same problem: and this will be the 3rd time. This range is junk! (However, I do agree with some repairmen who've said it is the fancy electronic panels.) I have a whirlpool dishwasher that just stopped working due to it's electronic panel. I can hardly wait to see what happens with my new washer/dryer.

yes i have a solution ! lets all get a class action lawsuit against amana and all get new stoves. this has happened to me 4 times that f1 and the beeping that would not stop until i unplugged it. do not buy another part or thing call your attorney i bought three extended warranty's for this stupid stove i paid $1400.00 for and i want the best stove amana offers or i will start a class action lawsuit against this company. this is a defected product and no consumer needs to put up with that. i bought mine in 2005 and it broke every year since they are going to make it up to me , look at toyota.they know people will not buy garbage anymore they jumped on that to fix the cars. do not take it anymore you paid for a stove that works not one that keeps breaking down year after year. sure everyone wants to sell you parts bull get a new stove at their expense

Does the light work? Will it heat if you remove the light?

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

Error code F1 indicates electronic control failure and is displayed due to electronic oven control failure and the only way to solve this problem is by replacing the control board which is bad. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

The electronic ribbon to the electronic control can be unplugged, eliminating the beeping while allowing you to use to burners until you get a new key pad.

Hi!
The F1 code means that the Key Pad is defective, the book says that if pressing CANCEL for 10 seconds don't stop the beeping and resets, the Pad should be replaced. I have learned that if you unplug the unit from the wall outlet for a couple of minutes, most of the time the pad will reset by itself.
Good Luck!! Don't forget to rate this post!!

You've blown a fuse in a part of the stove,if you have a manual check it if not check the inside of the back cover for the wiring diagram.UNPLUG FIRST

wer8n Sorry to read about your problem.

Try this to determine which part is needed.

This simple test will help determine whether the ERC (Electronic Range Control or Clock) or the touch pad is defective when F1 error code is present.

Note: Some models incorporate the touch pad in to the ERC as a single assembly, in which case this test is not necessary. Simply replace the ERC (Clock).

Warning: If you feel in any way uncomfortable performing this test or making this repair, please contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

1. Disconnect power to the range (unplug the range power cord or turn the power off to the range at the circuit breaker). It is very important that the power to the range has been disconnected, so please double check before continuing.
2. Gain access inside the control panel.
3. Disconnect the touch pad (also called keypad or membrane switch) ribbon from the ERC.
4. Make sure there are no lose wires, or anything else that may cause a short when power is turned back on. Assemble the control panel back the way it was.
5. Turn the power back on.
6. Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually accompanied by a beeping sound).
7. If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it does not, replace the touch pad.

Here is some wisdom for understanding F1 fault codes.

In some models, there are subcodes that make diagnosis even easier.

Here's a simple explanation of what's going on and how to troubleshoot:

The F1 code indicates that:


a. The electronic range control (ERC) is sensing heat in the oven when in a time-of-day (i.e., not cooking) mode.

b. The ERC is receiving information to run multiple heat functions simultaneously.


Although different components (depending upon the model) could generate the code, simple and straightforward testing using your ohm meter is all you gotta do to test for it.

1. Check the oven temperature sensor. The oven sensor has to be within spec or it will cause the F1 code.
As an example of being out-of-spec, the ERC will generate an F1 fault code when the sensor shows 1650 ohms during a time-of-day mode.
This is equivalent to 350°F in the oven.
The resistance isn't high enough to generate an F2 code (runaway temp) or an F3 or F4 code (shorted/open sensor circuit).
The ERC monitors the sensor circuit after a heat cycle and expects the resistance to drop back to 1050-1100 ohms.
The fault code is generated when this doesn't happen. Checking the sensor circuit means also checking the harness,
harness connections and the sensor itself.

2. If the oven sensor circuit checks okay, then turn your inquisitive eyeballs to the touchpad.
If the range has a separate touchpad/keyboard, the keypad may have moisture that is shorting several circuits simultaneously.
If the F1 code is given immediately (instead of during or after a heat cycle),
remove the ribbon connector from the touchpad to the ERC after clearing the F1 code. If the F1 code does not return in five minutes,
then cast a suspicious gaze upon the touchpad/keyboard. Shorts may be caused by using an ammonia-based glass cleaner.
The touchpad surface will absorb ammonia-based cleaners that are sprayed directly on the glass surface. When heat is applied,
the surface material can break down causing shorts.
If you're gonna use ammonia-based cleaners on your control panel, then you should spray it on the rag and then wipe the touchpanel
-don't spray directly onto the surface of the touchpad.

3. On Amana ranges with a rotary temperature dial, be sure that the knob is in the OFF position when performing tests.

4. If these tests all check good, then replace the ERC.

Sorry it can not be reset.
The F1 code is a failed electronic control. The clock/oven control must be replaced.

This is a bad electronic range control on this model. This is a simple repair and one thaty you can save a lot of money on by repairing yourself. We will provide part removal/installation instructions for you when you purchase your parts through us.

Hi Mike, the F9 code does signal a lock failure.I can't tell if you meant to type "manual" cleaning or not. But, if you did clean the oven with some type of foam, make sure that there is no build up around the door switch and lock.

Door lock problems are very, very, common after autoclean cycles. To the point that I have started warning customers not to clean their ovens before a holiday or dinner event.

First, press the timer on/off pad. If nothing happens, press in the oven door switch while you press the cancel button. Then, I turn the oven off at the breaker if that doesn't reset the lock. Leave it off for 10 or 15 minutes and see if the electronics reset.

If that doesn't help, you can open the top of the stove to access the motorized lock and move it yourself. It is a pretty sure bet that your problem is either the switch or the lock. If you have a multitester or simple continuity tester you can check the switch and motor. I hope this helped, have a good new year.

The touch pad (aka membrane switch) is bad and has to be replaced.

i stick to old school dial jobs, no probs, all this fancy stuff just makes problems

The f1 code means that the touch pad mambrane is bad on your oven. I found a web site where you can order this part. I don't represent this site in any way. Here is the link. Make sure it looks the same as the one you have. Hope this helped
