Amana Oven meat thermometer not working
If your Amana oven meat thermometer is not working, the meat probe is the most likely cause. The probe's resistance changes as its temperature changes, so test it with a multimeter. An open circuit means the probe is defective and should be replaced. If the probe tests good, inspect the control board, which reads the food temperature when the probe is connected. A faulty control board can cause an oven probe not working, meat thermometer not working, or probe error condition. Next, check the door switch. Some Amana ovens require the door to be closed before the oven thermometer operates, and a switch that fails its continuity test can prevent the probe from working. The probe receptacle, or probe jack, is another possible cause. Clean it and check for corrosion, damage, or poor contact with the probe. Less commonly, the oven control board may have failed. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your Amana oven model number to find the exact replacement meat probe, control board, door switch, or receptacle for your specific range, stove, or oven.

Highly Likely
02 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Control Board
When the probe is plugged into the jack, the control board monitors the food temperature from the probe. If the temperature probe and jack are good but the control board is not responding, the control board is likely bad.
Common
03 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Door Switch
Some oven meat thermometers will not function properly unless the oven door is closed which activates a door switch to alert the control board that the door is closed. If the door switch is defective, the oven meat thermometer may not work. To determine if the switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for electrical continuity when actuated. If the door switch does test appropriately for continuity, replace it.
Uncommon But Possible
04 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Receptacle
The meat probe jack or receptacle needs to be clean and making good contact with the meat probe. If the receptacle appears corroded or damaged, the component should be replaced.
Uncommon But Possible
05 - Amana Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
When the probe is plugged into the jack, the oven control board monitors the food temperature from the probe. If the temperature probe and jack are good but the control board is not responding, the control board is likely bad.
Uncommon But Possible
