What Does Error CAL Mean?

The Amana oven error code CAL indicates that the oven has entered calibration mode, often resulting in erratic temperature readings and a lack of response to normal cooking commands. This mode activates the oven's calibration function, which can sometimes be mistakenly triggered.

  • Oven may not respond to normal cooking commands while in calibration mode

Possible Causes

  • Oven calibration function activated (high)

How to Fix Error CAL

DIY Fix Exit calibration mode and resume normal operation

  1. If the oven is currently displaying CAL, attempt to exit by pressing Cancel or a combination of buttons as indicated in your model’s manual.
  2. Refer to your Owner’s Manual calibration section for proper exit instructions.
  3. If unsuccessful, power-cycle the oven by turning off its circuit breaker or unplugging for 60 seconds then restoring power.

Parts needed: Electronic control board / clock module
