Amana Oven shuts off on its own

When your Amana oven turns off by itself, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially if some buttons respond intermittently or not at all. A faulty touchpad can interrupt oven operation and may need replacement. Next, check the thermal fuse. If the oven gets too hot, this safety device can trip and shut off power. Test the fuse for continuity with a multimeter. A blown thermal fuse cannot be reset and must be replaced, although this is less common. A defective touchpad and control panel can cause similar symptoms when some buttons work while others do not. If no buttons respond, the control board is more likely at fault. Also verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped, since an incoming power problem can make the oven shut off during use. Loose or burnt connections, failed relays, or a failing control board or main control board can also stop the oven unexpectedly. Enter your Amana oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance.

01 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad

If the oven turns off on its own, determine if some of the buttons on the touchpad respond intermittently or not at all. If so, it's likely the touchpad is faulty and should be replaced.

02 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Thermal Fuse

If the oven gets too hot, the thermal fuse trips to shut off power to the oven. If the thermal fuse has blown, the oven will not heat. However, this is not a common occurrence. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it. The thermal fuse cannot be reset—if the fuse has blown, it must be replaced.

03 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad and Control Panel

If an oven won't turn on, it's possible the touchpad and control panel is defective. One way to help confirm this is to determine if some touchpad buttons respond while others don't. If some of the buttons still work, then it's quite probable the touchpad and control panel is faulty and requires replacement (if none of the buttons work, a defective control board is more likely the cause of the oven not turning on).

04 - Incoming Power Problem

If an oven turns off on its own there could be an incoming power problem. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
Common

05 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
Less Common

06 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
