Okay here’s my problem. My mother bought a semi used Amana stove about a year ago. Recently the control panel has been reading F1 and it will not allow the oven to work at all. I had her to cut the power going to the stove but it still won’t go off. The print is too small for her to read the model # but the stove itself is an Amana .514 Big Oven (electric) and she gave me these numbers (not sure if they’re correct) 35320227010. Please give me some directions in regards to what could be wrong and what part(s) I need to order. Thanks,
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.
- 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.
- Gain access inside the control panel.
- Disconnect the touch pad (also called keypad or membrane switch) ribbon from the ERC.
- 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.
- Turn the power back on.
- Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually accompanied by a beeping sound).
- If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it does not, replace the touch pad.

The same thing happened to me on my Amana Big Oven. I needed to have the igniter replaced. That’s all.
