Amana AER6303MFW5 electric range Parts

Amana electric ranges (including model AER6303MFW5) are made by Whirlpool Corporation. Amana is a Whirlpool-owned brand, and many Amana cooking products share Whirlpool-designed components and service parts.

What this means for parts and repairs

Because Amana is part of the Whirlpool brand family, you will often see Whirlpool-style part numbering and compatible designs when servicing an Amana range.

Common Whirlpool-family replacement parts you may need for AER6303MFW5 include:

• Range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986
• Bake element W11182108
• Range broil element W10856603
• Range surface element control switch WP3148952
• Control, electronic (lcx) (white) W11536795

Quick brand-family reference

Here is a simple way to think about it when you are troubleshooting or ordering parts:

What you see on the appliance	What it typically indicates	What to do next
Amana on the badge	Brand name on the product	Use model AER6303MFW5 to match parts
WP / W part IDs on parts	Whirlpool-family part system	Order by exact part ID for best fit
Similar designs across brands	Shared engineering and suppliers	Confirm by model and part ID

Why it matters

Knowing Whirlpool makes Amana ranges helps you troubleshoot smarter and order the right replacement parts the first time. For example, oven heating issues often trace back to the bake element or oven temperature sensor, both of which are common Whirlpool-family components.

Yes. Amana electric ranges like model AER6303MFW5 are a solid choice when you want simple, dependable cooking without a lot of extra complexity. In our experience, they tend to deliver consistent baking and straightforward surface cooking, and most issues are usually repairable with common range parts.

What “good” usually means for an Amana electric range

A “good” range is one that heats reliably, holds temperature, and is practical to maintain. For an Amana electric range, that typically looks like:

• Predictable oven performance for everyday baking and roasting
• Simple controls that are easy to use and troubleshoot
• Common, replaceable wear parts (elements, switches, sensors, door seals)
• Reasonable repair costs compared to replacing the whole range

Strengths and tradeoffs to expect

Electric ranges are generally consistent for baking; the main differences come down to features and how quickly the cooktop responds.

Common strengths

• Even oven heat for most recipes
• Fewer moving parts than many other appliances
• Straightforward diagnostics when something stops heating

Common tradeoffs

• Surface elements can cycle on and off (normal for temperature control)
• Heating response is usually slower than gas for quick changes
• Wear items (elements and switches) eventually need replacement

Parts that often solve the most common complaints

If “not good” means the oven will not heat, heats unevenly, or temperatures seem off, these are frequent fixes for AER6303MFW5:

Symptom	Often involved part	Example from this model’s parts
Oven temperature seems inaccurate	Oven temperature sensor	Range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986
Bake does not heat	Bake element	Bake element W11182108
Broil does not heat	Broil element	Range broil element W10856603
Surface burner not heating correctly	Element or control switch	Element (1200w)(left rear & right rear) W11171119, range surface element control switch WP3148952

Why it matters

A range can feel “bad” when it is simply out of calibration or has a single failed heating component. Because Amana ranges use common electric-range parts, many performance problems are fixable without replacing the appliance.

An electric oven like the Amana AER6303MFW5 is built around a heating system (bake and broil), temperature sensing, and a control system that regulates heat and timing. Most ovens also include door sealing and rack hardware that affects cooking performance and safety.

Main electric oven parts (what they do)

• Bake element: bottom heat source for most baking and roasting (see bake element W11182108).
• Broil element: top heat source for broiling and browning (see range broil element W10856603).
• Oven temperature sensor: tells the control board the actual oven temperature (see range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986).
• Electronic control: manages temperature, bake/broil cycles, and clock/timer functions.
• Oven racks: support cookware and help position food for even cooking.
• Oven door seal (gasket): keeps heat in the oven cavity for stable temperatures (see range oven door seal W11542153).

Quick “parts map” of where you’ll find them

Part	Typical location	Common symptom when it fails
Bake element	Bottom of oven cavity	Oven will not heat or heats unevenly
Broil element	Top of oven cavity	No broil, weak browning
Temperature sensor	Rear wall inside oven	Overheats, underheats, temp swings
Door seal	Around oven door frame	Long preheat, heat leaks, poor baking

Why these parts matter

These components work together to keep temperatures accurate and consistent. When one part is weak or inaccurate (especially the bake element or temperature sensor), you can see slow preheat, uneven baking, or temperature errors.

When to suspect a specific part

• Oven not heating at all: bake element, control, wiring.
• Bakes too hot or too cool: temperature sensor, control calibration.
• Broil does not work: broil element, control.
• Heat escaping around the door: door seal.

If your Amana AER6303MFW5 electric range oven is not working, the most common causes are a power supply problem (tripped breaker or loose cord connection), a failed heating component (bake or broil), or a temperature-sensing/control issue. Start with power checks, then test heating and sensor-related parts.

Quick checks first (no parts needed)

• Confirm the range has power: the display and surface burners should work.
• Reset the circuit breaker by switching it fully OFF, then back ON.
• If the cooktop works but the oven does not, the issue is usually in the oven heating circuit (element, sensor, control, wiring).
• Cancel any active timed bake or control lock settings, then try a normal Bake cycle.
• If the oven recently ran self-clean, let it cool completely and try again (overheat conditions can trigger failures).

Most common part failures on an electric oven

These are the parts we see most often when an oven will not heat or heats incorrectly:

• Bake element: if it is cracked, blistered, or has a burned spot, it often will not heat.
• Broil element: some models use broil to help preheat; if it is open, preheat and baking can suffer.
• Oven temperature sensor: if it reads wrong, the control may stop heating or heat erratically.
• Electronic control: if it is not sending voltage to the elements, the oven will not heat.

Helpful model-matched parts to check:

• Bake element W11182108
• Range broil element W10856603
• Range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986
• Control, electronic (lcx) (white) W11536795

Symptoms and the most likely cause

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Oven will not heat at all	Bake element open, control not sending power	Inspect element; test element and wiring
Broil works but bake does not	Bake element failed	Replace bake element
Bake works but temperature is way off	Temperature sensor drifting	Test/replace sensor
Oven heats sometimes, then stops	Loose wire connection, failing control	Check harness connections; consider control

Why it matters

When the oven cannot heat, it is usually because the control is not getting the right feedback (sensor) or cannot deliver heat (element/control). Fixing the correct component restores safe, consistent temperatures for baking and roasting.
