E7

Lockout

Igniter open / no-ground

IFC did not see the igniter circuit behave as commanded.

Walk E7 in Diagnose

9 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Ohms at the igniter, then at the IFC

On Amana AMVC96 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. Igniter ohms cold (confirm sticker — nitride, not a 80% Norton chart).

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

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.
