What Blinking amber lights
actually means.
On a KitchenAid commercial-style stove, the knob lights blink amber and a tone sounds when the control has found an error. The light itself does not tell you which one; the code is read from the KitchenAid app or by a technician.

What to do when Blinking amber lights shows on the stoveKind of codeControl board and power
The main board failed its own start-up check, lost contact with the display, or saw the supply voltage sag too low, often after a storm, a power outage or a spill that ran down behind the panel. The breaker, the cord and the outlet are ruled out before a board is replaced. A stove that sparks, smells of hot wiring or keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker first.

Stoves with a blank or flashing display, touch keys that do not answer, codes that keep returning or a stove that will not turn on, traced to the board, the keypad or the power to them.
