Beep! I was cooking today [View all]

I had the timer on, so I didn't overcook potatoes. About 45 minutes into the cook time, I heard a beeping sound. I tracked it down to the stove, and saw an F2EO error message on the readout. The timer ended without reaching zero, and the readout reverted to the clock. No more beeping or error readout. I looked it up and learned that the message means that readout circuit might be stuck or no good. Or the whole control panel. First step, I cleaned off the readout panel. Next is shutting off the circuit breaker for 1-10 minutes, and then turning it back on. I'm going to wait till someone is here to spot me. The Internet said that whatever is wrong shouldn't affect the stovetop, and I was able to cook my breakfast with no problems.

It is an Amana range, about 14 years old. We didn't use it for about 18 months of that time. It's had light use the rest of the time. I'm wondering if I should plan on replacing the readout circuit, or, if necessary, the main control, or just buy a new range? I'll know more after I reset it, but I will probably have to plan on something. If someone can advise me what might be ahead, I appreciate any comments. Thanks!
