First check

1 Watch one full try — do not reset

Write the Amana AM9S96 code. Watch inducer, HSI glow, valve click, flame, µA. The step that dies is the repair. Resetting only burns another try into a harder lockout. Watch one full try: inducer, HSI glow, valve click, flame.

Expect: W → Prove → No W2 path

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates
