ARDS802SS Amana Range - Instructions

Removed the old sensor which is held into the upper right of the back of the oven by removing the two screws and pulling the sensor out. Then disconnected the sensor from its connector. Replace the old with the new by simply clicking it into the connector. Then pushed the wire back into the oven wall and screwed the two screws back in. The whole job took about one minute to do after evaluating the process. While it was not necessary to remove the door, I did (which was very easy) and ended up cleaning the glass inside and out. All in all, a complete success. Oven working as new.

A frind (my husband has ALZ> came over before I ordered the part lookt at it took it out and told me what to do. I ordered the part and got it in 3 day's Wonderfull.My friend came the next day and put it back in. I cleaned the oven the next day and I am back in action THank you so much for the great service P v. d. B

F3 = Sensor failure. After reading other stories here it seemed like a quick DIY fix. It was fairly easy, except tham my Amana Model had very short leads to the sensor that made me have to pull the oven out to get at the back. It was still easy, however it did not fix the problem. Ultimately I hired a repair person and they found that the underlying problem was a door hinge that had prevented the top of the door from sealing well and letting heat escape up near the control board. Over the years this had damaged the board, which is old and no longer made and the whole unit was totalled. Bummer for me but it was good that I tried and I will use PartSelect again (hopefully not soon, though).

Removed back panel, unplugged sensor, removed sensor from inside oven (2 screws), replaced with new part.

As others have described...removed old, replaced with new. Turning off electricity first, of course. Needed tweezers to pull wire out to front. Glad we could still get the part for the 20+ year oven. And we received it in 2 days. Thanks.
