EOC is a Electronic Oven Control

tech sheet under the control panel has a schematics in it..

The exhaust fan on my oven (Aosc3040) is loud also and has always been. Just hope nothing significant brakes because this model has been discontinued and it is difficult to get parts for it. I have been told by Amana that the life expentency of this oven is 10-13 years, so don't invest in anything that is not necessary. The glass door broke on mine and I cannot get a replacement piece. My kitchen looks terrible. It is a shame because the oven works great. Linda

Linda, if you can't find a replacement door at local used appliance repair shops - check the Yellow Pages - look to see how the door comes apart.  It is probably held together with 6 or 8 Philips screws.  Get the door apart and take out the broken glass.  Call around to see if an appliance repair store has an oven they are discarding that has the same size glass or larger.  If the glass is too big, phone a few glass shops to see if they can 'cut' it down for you.  Some tempered glasses can be cut and sanded down to the precise size you need. Take your old broken glass to the shop to be used as a template. You should be able to get away with this type of repair for $50 if you compare prices. Cheers, Pavel

Badar, press and hold bake and cooktime together for 5 seconds. Sometimes a power failure will put it in lock mode. Catriver..post back.

Try this it worked for me:
Spray the hinge assy including the springs with WD40 work the door back and forth.
Look at the interface of the door gasket to the oven chamber mine was pulled away slightly away from the frame on the bottom I used a hammer and a piece of wood to pound it back tight against the oven frame.
I changed the light switch and that did it good luck

I have just checked the baking guide in the manual and have found that it may not be us after all. (Maybe this is why they telll us to read the whole manual. Well, I never have) According to the cooking time for Baking, the range is very extensive. For example, an angel cake at 350 could take from 28-50 minutes, buscuits at 375-400 could take 8-16 minutes, layer cakes at 350-375 could take 25-40 minutes, pound cakes at 325-350 could take 45-70 minutes and fresh pies at 400-450 could take 35-60 minutes. Basically, the baking directions on the box means absolutely nothing to use Amana oven owners. We have no choice but to cook our food or baked goods until they are cooked, whenever that may be. :) Linda

Hi~ According to the manual for this oven, the F2 code signifies - high oven temperature. The only suggestion for any of the codes in the manual is to disconnect the electrical supply. It says" pressing OVEN CANCEL pad or disconnecting electrical supply may eliminate "F code". If failure continues, contact an authorized servicer.
I hope this helps. Linda

This would usually need a keypad replacement. It may come as a whole console or as part of range control board. From what I see in pictures, it appears to be an insert panel that goes into console assembly. Looks to run about 200 dollars. You will need complete model and serial numbers off oven to order correct part. These parts are usually not returnable.

Sometimes a web site will be able to get it,even though some sites list it as no longer available. Check www.partselect.com www.apwagner.com or www3.sears.com

If I were you I would contact Amana and speak to their service dept. and tell them your problem as maybe theres a service bulliten out or a common repair and if that they would recommend someone who can fix this model.. I tryed to look up this model and I couldnt find it. If that dosent help Go to http://repairclinic.com and ask the repair guru there for assistance.. Good luck
