An amana wall oven not heating on an AWO6313 or AWO6317 often shows F3 E0 or F3 E1 — the oven temperature sensor — or, with no code, a failed bake or broil element.
Amana single electric wall ovens (the AWO6313 and AWO6317) share the range control platform, so they report the same F#E# codes — F3 sensor, F5 door lock, F6 E1 over-temp during cook, and F9 E0 electrical or miswire — and because they are single, electric, thermal ovens there are no double-oven or gas-oven codes to read. We start with the everyday causes you can check yourself, then explain the signs that point to a part that genuinely needs a hands-on repair.
What a amana wall oven not heating usually means
The RTD sensor tells the control the cavity temperature. F3 E0 is an open sensor circuit and F3 E1 a shorted one; either makes the control stop heating. With no code, a failed bake or broil element or a board relay is the likely cause. Because these are single, electric, thermal ovens, there are no double-oven or gas-oven codes to chase.
First checks you can do
Start with the checks you can safely do yourself. Each one rules out a common, inexpensive cause, and together they resolve the majority of cases without a service visit:
- Reset at the breaker for 30 to 60 seconds and watch for F3 E0 or F3 E1.
- Confirm the oven is not in Sabbath Mode, a delayed start, or a low Warm setting.
- Test bake and broil separately to isolate a single failed element.
- Confirm the door closes and any Oven Lockout is off.
Take these in order and confirm whether the problem has cleared before moving to the next. If you do end up needing help, having worked through them gives the technician a useful head start.
Reading the Amana display for a amana wall oven not heating
Note any code before you act, because it narrows the diagnosis more than any other clue. A good first move for most Amana faults is a power reset: switch the appliance off at the breaker for 30 to 60 seconds, then restore power. If the code returns straight away, treat it as a real fault pointing at the named part rather than a one-off glitch. Remember Amana writes the digits F-then-E, so read F3 E1 as the third fault group with sub-code one.
- F3 E0 — oven sensor open (no heat).
- F3 E1 — oven sensor shorted (no heat).
- F6 E1 — over-temp during cook.
- F2 E1 — keypad ribbon unplugged (control input).
Read the exact characters carefully, and ignore any lookup that does not match this list — codes from other makes do not apply here.
When it is a fault, not a habit
If the everyday checks above do not resolve it, the problem has likely moved from something you can adjust to a component that needs testing or replacing. These are the signs that point that way:
- F3 persists after a reset — the RTD sensor or harness needs replacement.
- No code but no heat — a failed bake or broil element or a board relay.
- Baking runs hot or cold — a drifting sensor rather than a dead one.
At this point a proper diagnosis beats guesswork, since the remaining causes involve a specific part or electrical testing. An experienced technician can meter the suspect component and fit a genuine OEM part so the repair lasts.
Putting it together
Work the checks above in the order given. Most Amana wall oven faults of this kind clear at one of the early, owner-checkable steps; the ones that do not point to a specific part and are worth a proper diagnosis rather than guesswork. Move from the simplest cause outward, confirm each step before the next, and treat a returning code or a lingering symptom as your cue to bring in help. A little routine care afterward prevents most repeat calls, since Amana builds these wall ovens to be dependable and easy to live with.
