Amana AER6303MFS 30 in 4.8 cu ft Electric Range with Self-Cleaning Oven and Storage Drawer F3E1 Error Fix: Shorted Oven Temperature Sensor

The oven temperature sensor (RTD) circuit is reading as shorted (near 0 ohms). The ERC interprets this as an extremely high temperature reading. Check the sensor wiring for pinched, melted, or bare wires touching the oven frame or each other. Inspect the sensor connector for bent pins or moisture. Disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance — it should read approximately 1080 ohms at 70°F. If near 0 ohms, the sensor is shorted and must be replaced. If the sensor reads correctly but the code persists, the wiring harness is the problem.
