If your Amana oven doesn’t turn off, it obviously needs a thorough check for malfunctioning parts. Sometimes, the owners prefer doing that stuff personally. Surely, it takes less efforts to leave it to professional maintenance helpers. If you have an intention to try out fixing yourself, start with a thermostat. The thermostat sends voltage to the oven fan as the oven heats up. If the thermostat contacts are stuck closed, the thermostat may continue to send voltage to the oven fan after the oven has cooled down. To determine if the thermostat is at fault, use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If the thermostat shows continuity at any temperature, this indicates that the thermostat is defective. If the thermostat is defective, replace it. The oven control board might be checked as well. It has relays that regulate power to the bake, broil and fan circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If one of these relays shorts out, the control board may send continuous voltage to the oven fan. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the control board, first check the oven thermostats. If an oven thermostat fails, it may cause the oven fan to run continuously. Probably, the knob could be broken or defective. On most cookers simply pull the old knob away from your control panel. Simply get your new control knob, make sure it is located on the flat of the control shaft and then push it on. As well as being one of the easiest DIY jobs out there, fixing your oven control knob yourself can save you a lot of money compared to booking a repair or buying a new cooker. If you have any problems, don’t suffer and contact a repair technician. It will save you time and efforts and won’t cost a lot.
