Our Amana stove has been acting up for a few months. At first it was always 40-60 degrees off in temperature, but then it started only heating to 150 or 200 degrees and getting no hotter no matter how long you waited. The next day it worked fine, so today(about three days later) I tried to heat it up and it got to 200 degrees, then started dropping. Also I smelled gas strongly. I turned it off and let it cool down, then I tried again. This time it heated perfectly, to the exact temperature on the dial. I finished with it, turned it off, it got cold. Then I needed it again, so I turned it on again, same day, and it got to about 150 and I smelled gas, so I right away turned it off and back on, and it heated fine again. What in the world is wrong with this oven???!
Your limit switch not working
The ignitor is weak and not lighting the oven consistently. Need to replace the ignitor.
Turn oven temperature knob to OFF.
2. Press and hold both arrow pads for approximately 5 seconds.
3. A double digit will display ranging from -35 °F to 35 °F.
4. Immediately, press either:
• to increase oven temperature by 5 °F
• to decrease oven temperature by 5 °F
• When temperature is adjusted to a cooler setting, a minus sign (-) will
display with the offset temperature.
5. When desired temperature change is displayed, release control and
change will be automatically saved after a few seconds. Control will
return to time of day display.
• Offset temperature change will be retained through a power failure.
