First check

1 Ohms at the igniter, then at the IFC

On Amana AM9S96 measure cold ohms at the igniter plug, then at the IFC connector. An open at the plug is the element or local harness. Open only at the IFC is the harness rub-through on the collector. Ohms at the igniter plug, then at the IFC.

Expect: HSI: Nitride, 120 VAC during warm-up. Cold ohms per sticker.

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

  • Ohms at the igniter plug, then at the IFC.
  • 120 VAC during trial.
