Amana Furnace Code EE4
Safety fault
Flame was detected when there was no call for heat. The furnace shuts down and keeps the blowers running.
Manual wording: “Flame sensed with no call for heat.”
Documented for: Amana AMVC96, ACVC96, AMVM97, ACVM97, AM9S80, AC9S80, AR9S80, AD9S80, AR9T96, AD9T96 (seven-segment display controls)
Likely causes, most common first
- Short to ground in flame sense circuit
- Lingering burner flame
- Slow closing gas valve
What you can safely check yourself
- Turn the furnace off at its power switch and leave it off until a technician arrives
When to call a technician
A gas valve that may not be closing fully is an immediate service call. Do not test it yourself.
A Amana furnace throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
