Why is my Amana electric stove oven not working?
If your Amana AER5630BAB0 electric range oven is not working, the most common causes are a power supply problem (tripped breaker, blown fuse, miswired outlet, or unplugged cord) or a failed heating component such as the bake element or oven temperature sensor. Start with the quick power and control checks in the AER5630BAB0 owner's manual.
- Make sure the range is fully plugged into a grounded outlet.
- Reset the circuit breaker (or replace the household fuse) and try Bake again.
- Check the control display for an F9 or F9, E0 code; that points to a home wiring or supply issue.
- Confirm the oven is not in a locked-out state (control lock can prevent operation).
- If the oven light works but the oven will not heat, focus on heating parts next.
When the display works but the oven will not heat or heats poorly, these parts are common suspects:
- Bake element: can blister, crack, or burn open and stop heating.
- Oven temperature sensor: can send incorrect temperature feedback and prevent proper heating.
- Oven control board: can fail to send voltage to the bake circuit.
Helpful model-matched parts to consider:
| What you observe | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing works (no display, no lights) | No power to range | Check plug, breaker/fuse, and outlet wiring (F9/F9,E0) |
| Display works, oven will not heat | Failed bake element or control issue | Inspect bake element; test/replace if damaged |
| Oven heats but temperature is off | Sensor out of range | Test/replace oven temperature sensor |
An electric range needs a correct household power supply to run the oven circuits. Once power is confirmed, the bake element and temperature sensor are the most common reasons an oven will not heat correctly, and replacing the failed part restores normal baking performance.

How do I find the model number on my AER5630BAB0?
Your Amana electric range model number is printed on a rating label on the appliance. On model AER5630BAB0, the label is typically found around the oven door frame area; check the frame when you open the oven door, then match the full model number exactly when ordering parts.
Check these common label locations for Amana freestanding electric ranges:
- Oven door frame (left or right side) when the door is open
- Front frame near the storage drawer opening (remove the drawer if needed)
- Behind the control panel area (less common)
- Back panel of the range (you may need a flashlight)
Record the information exactly as it appears on the label:
- Model number: AER5630BAB0
- Serial number (helps confirm production run)
- Electrical rating (useful for wiring and terminal block questions)
| Item | What it does | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact range design | Choosing correct parts and diagrams |
| Serial number | Identifies your specific unit | Verifying version, age, and service history |
A single character difference can change the correct bake element, surface element, or control board for an Amana range. Using the exact model number helps ensure parts like the range bake element WPW10308477 fit and wire up correctly.
For diagrams and label-location details specific to this range, use the AER5630BAB0 owner's manual.

What is the average lifespan of AER5630BAB0?
The average lifespan of an Amana electric range like model AER5630BAB0 is 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Heating components and door parts often wear first, but many issues are repairable with the correct replacement parts.
These are the most common wear items on an electric range over time:
- Bake element and broil element (slow heating, no heat)
- Surface elements and element switches (burner not heating or stuck on)
- Oven temperature sensor (inaccurate temperatures)
- Door hinges and door seal (door not closing tightly, heat loss)
- Terminal block and power cord connection (burning smell, intermittent power)
| Component | Typical service life | Common symptom |
|---|---|---|
| Bake/broil element | 5 to 10 years | No heat or uneven baking |
| Oven temperature sensor | 8 to 12 years | Oven temp off by 25°F or more |
| Door hinges/seal | 8 to 15 years | Door drops, heat leaks |
- Keep the oven cavity and door seal clean to prevent heat loss
- Avoid slamming the oven door; it stresses hinges and glass
- Use cookware that matches the burner size to reduce element cycling
- If a burner stays on high or will not regulate, replace the switch promptly
Knowing the expected lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or refresh key parts. For example, restoring accurate baking often starts with the range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986 and a basic temperature check.
