I've replaced the sensor and that did not solve problem. The oven heats up to temperature and then either gets way too hot or way too cold! I have to constantly monitor the thermometer in the oven.
Replace the bake ignitor and now it works perfectly! Thank you so much, aborcass.Replace the bake ignitor and now it works perfectly! Thank you so much, aborcass.

Erratic temp in oven can also be a bad oven ignitor, usually to low of a temp and not able to stay at temp, too long to preheat.replace the bake ignitor

Hello there and welcome to fixya When
the food you're baking is done on top but not on the bottom--or when
baking just takes far too long to finish--the bake element may be burned
out. You
may get fooled into thinking it's working, because the oven is hot
inside. But many electric ovens use the broil element, too, during the
preheat and bake cycles. So the food may be getting heated only by the
broil element, which causes poor baking results. If
the bake element is burned out, replacing it should solve the problem.
To determine if the heating element is burned out, watch the part testing video
at the bottom of this page. Otherwise, you need to further troubleshoot
the oven's electrical system to locate the defective wire or component.
When
the temperature is consistent but too high or too low, it could be one
of several different things. First check to see if the thermostat
sensing bulb has come loose from its holder. It could be lying on the
floor of the oven or resting on the heating element. This would cause
the oven to not heat correctly.If the thermostat bulb is not dislodged, it's likely that the thermostat or sensor is either mis-calibrated or defective. Electronic
ovens with a digital display use a sensor to monitor oven temperature.
To solve temperature problems for these models, you may need to replace
the sensor. On some digital-display models, you can calibrate the
temperature using the key pad. See your operator's manual for details. Ovens
without a digital display often use a mechanical system for controlling
temperature. On many of these units, you can remove the thermostat knob
and adjust the knob itself to more accurately represent the actual
setting of the thermostat. If,
when you remove the knob, there's a screw on the back of it with a
small calibration plate, you can loosen the screw, adjust the plate,
then tighten the screw again. If the knob isn't adjustable, and the oven
temperature is off by more than 30 to 40 degrees, you need to replace
the thermostat to solve the problem.

To determine if the heating element is burned out, you will have to test the element for resistance across the 2 ends , with the meter set on the 200 scale if you get a good reading like 000 it would indicate that the part may be ok but if yoiu get a reading of a 01 or a 1 or lomething like this it would indicate tha part is bad then you need to replace it However you will also want to First check to see if the thermostat

Hi, F2 error code on the Amana Oven means "Oven too hot"
You have to replace Oven temperature sensor to fix it.
F3 error code means "Open or shorted oven temperature sensor".
Yo also have to replace Oven temperature sensor to fix it.
Summarily, both code has to do with the temperature sensor which you need to replace...
hello there Usually, when an oven won't heat up or bake, it's because the
bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil-
thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element
glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It
may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns
out, you need to replace it.Now if the oven It bakes poorlyHere are two instances of when food "bakes
poorly:"When the food you're baking is done on top but not on
the bottom--or when baking just takes far too long to finish--the bake

F2 Oven temperature too hot Check and replace oven temperature sensor (RTD). F3 Open oven temperature sensor (RTD) Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok. So i suppose its a sensor replacement is necessary.These are the fault code explanations by frigidaire.good luck with the machine.Please do post results and comments.
