E2

Lockout

Low-stage PS stuck open

Inducer is on low and the low-fire switch will not close.

9 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Prove inducer and the live code

Do not pull power — that clears the Amana AMVC96 active code. Write E2. Is the inducer spinning on this call? Silent inducer is not a pressure switch. Inducer spinning? 120 VAC at the inducer on a heat call.

Expect: 120 VAC at the inducer on a heat call. Wheel turning.

If fail: 120 VAC missing → IFC / door switch / incoming power. Voltage + dead motor → inducer.

If pass: Inducer running + this code → trap, hose, switch, vent (step 2).

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

Inducer spinning? 120 VAC at inducer on a W1 call.
Collector box, inducer outlet, and condensate trap — this 96% unit will not make pressure with a full trap.
PVC intake/exhaust (bird screen, ice, long run, wind).
LPS hose cracked or on the wrong port (low vs high tap).
Inducer spinning? 120 VAC at the inducer on a W call.
Collector box, inducer outlet, and condensate trap — this 96% will not make pressure with a full trap.
PVC intake/exhaust (bird screen, ice, long run, wind). 1205D is 3" vent — a 2" termination is undersized.
Hose dry and on the only collector tap. There is no high-fire hose to move.

Plates that use E2

Same number, other makers

E2 on Amana is not the same code on these plates.
