Re: Amana ACS3350AS stove temp in oven stays at 100...
We had the same problem and it turned out to be a burned out lower heating element. Only the top one was heating and I could never get it over about 150deg or so.

It sounds to me like the oven thermostat is faulty, as this is what controls the temperature.
If you can , get a thermometer and place it in the oven and check the temp against the seting with the thermometer, if as you say it is 100 degrees above setting , then you need to replace the thermostat.
Oven temperature can be adjusted for a maximum of 35 degrees farenheight. Refer to the page 11 of your owner's manual. A PDF version of the owner's manual can easily be find at http://shop.amana.com
This sounds like a weak igniter, it would have to be a gas oven and the symtoms usually are: takes longer than normal to ignite the burner, may or may not smell gas in the oven, does not maintain set temperature, eventually won't heat at all. On gas ovens, a glo igniter is like a light bulb, the more you cook, the faster it wears out. Bottom line, needs to be replaced. Good luck.
It will be the sensor inside the oven compartment that is causing the problem.
A new sensor should cure the prob, certainley cheaoer than buying a new oven.
Hope my advice helps you.
If you're inclined to fix this yourself and can't find a replacement control board (no doubt that's what you need), try www.fixyourboard.com They will repair your board and return it to you with a 1 year warranty.
Our door on this oven is coming apart, so the oven door never truly closes. When you set the self clean cycle, push the door shut until it locks... at least this has worked for me. But I think all your problems, which are similar to mine, result from the oven door not truly closing... heat escapes, so the temp is not right and takes forever to heat up. The heat melts the control panel, causing other problems. In fact, our door is starting to fall open... a bit dangerous.
Good luck!
If you have electronic controls, you'll need either the temperature probe (about $60.00) or the clock (about $150.00). You can test the temperature probe from behind the machine. It should read about 1080 ohms at room temperature. if the probe is good, replace the clock.
If you have mechanical oven controls, you need a new thermostat. Is the too high temp consistent? (i.e. runs at 375F +/- 25F?) If so, you can usually adjust the thermostat **** to read closer to the actual temperature.
