Amana

E3

Protect

Open primary / aux / rollout limit

Primary limit opened. Airflow or overfire — not a charge problem.

9 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Treat this as flame outside the exchanger

Do not reset the Amana AMVC96 rollout and walk away. Write the code, kill the call, and look for flame at the burners, crossover, and vestibule before you do anything else.

Expect: No flame outside the exchanger. Burners seated. Crossover lit.

If pass: Still inspect secondary / flue / condensate before you reset.

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

Filter, blower wheel, A-coil, heat-speed tap (9-speed: wrong tap is the #1 callback).
Static vs blower chart for this cabinet size.
Manifold pressure on low and high vs rating plate.
Limit ohms after it cools — a limit that never recloses is failed.
This is a 9-speed ECM. Heat default is F02. F01 is marked not recommended for heating on SS p.7 — that tap is an E3 generator.
Filter, blower wheel, A-coil, TES vs the AR9S96 blower chart for this cabinet.
Manifold vs rating plate — overfire trips limits with a clean filter.
Limit ohms after it cools.
