E0

Lockout

System / ignition lockout

Too many failed ignition attempts or flame losses on this call.

9 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Watch one full try — do not reset

Write the Amana AMVC96 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, µA.

Expect: Call → Prove limits → Low inducer / LPS → HSI / low-fire valve → Blower → High fire → Satisfied

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.
