Lockout

Circulator current

ECM current too low (LE1) or unexpected (UE2).

Walk LE1 / UE2 in Diagnose

3 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Is the wheel free?

Spin the Amana AR9S96 blower by hand. Ice, debris, or a seized bearing is not a control problem. Confirm the motor type on this plate — serial ECM, 9-speed tap, or X-13 — before you grab a capacitor. Harness seated at motor and IFC. 9-speed ECM is tap-driven — a half-seated plug throws these.

Expect: Wheel free. Correct motor family for this IFC.

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

  • Harness seated at motor and IFC. 9-speed ECM is tap-driven — a half-seated plug throws these.
  • Locked rotor, wet winding, or wrong motor for the cabinet.
  • Do not put a PSC motor on this IFC.
  • Do not put a PSC motor or a ComfortBridge serial ECM on this IFC.
  • This is Category I metal vent. There is no 96% collector or PVC trap to prime.
  • Cap, liner, common-vent tables, inducer wheel, hose on the inducer housing.
