Electronic – ATMEGA328p ADC keeps returning 1023

I'm trying to configure my ATMEGA328p to measure temperature using the TMP36GZ temperature sensor. However, the 10-bit ADC keeps returning 1023. I've tried disconnecting the temperature sensor (it should return 0 at this point for the ADC reading), but it still returns 1023. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong in my code:

volatile uint16_t TMP36_VoutADCReading = 0U;

void TMP36_Init( void )
{
   // Set the ADC prescaler to 128 (i.e., 16MHz/128 = 125KHz)
   ADCSRA |= ( 1 << ADPS2 ) | ( 1 << ADPS1 ) | ( 1 << ADPS0 );

   // Set the voltage reference from AVcc (i.e., 5V).
   ADMUX |= ( 1 << REFS0 );

   // Turn on the ADC.
   ADCSRA |= ( 1 << ADEN );

   // Do the initial conversion (i.e., the slowest conversion)
   // to ensure that everything is up and running.
   ADCSRA |= ( 1 << ADSC );
}

void TMP36_ADCRead( uint8_t channel )
{
   // Clear the previously read channel.
   // ADCSRA &= 0xf0;                      <-- This was causing the bug.
   ADMUX &= 0xf0;                          // <-- This is the fix. Thanks IgnacioVazquez-Abrams!

   // Select the ADC channel to be read.
   ADMUX |= channel;

   // Start a new conversion. By default, this conversion will
   // be performed in single conversion mode.
   ADCSRA |= ( 1 << ADSC );

   // Wait until the conversion is complete.
   // while( ADCSRA & ( 1 << ADSC ) );        <-- This is probably also correct.
   while( ADCSRA & ( 1 << ADIF ) );           // <-- Added. Thanks Adithya!

   // Obtain the ADC reading from Vout.
   TMP36_VoutADCReading = ADC;

   // Clear the ADIF flag.
   ADCSRA |= ( 1 << ADIF );                    // <-- Just added. Thanks Adithya!
}

int main( void )
{
   // Disable all interrupts for the time being.
   cli();

   // Initialize the TMP36GZ temperature sensor.
   TMP36_Init();

   // Enable all interrupts.
   sei();

   while( 1 )
   {
      // Compute the distance.
      uint8_t channel = 1;
      TMP36_ADCRead( channel ); // At this point, TMP36_VoutADCReading = 1023
   }
}

In terms of connections, I'm trying to read the output voltage from pin PC1 on the ATMEGA328p and I have AVcc connected to VCC and pin 22 (i.e., GND) connected to
pin 8's GND. I have disabled setting the voltage reference from AREF, so AREF
isn't connected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:
IgnacioVazquez-Abrams pointed out that ADCSRA &= 0xf0; should have been ADMUX &= 0xf0;. I've since modified the code above. Also, thanks Adithya for the suggestion you made about checking the ADIF flag! I'll take it into consideration.
