Amana Furnace Code EE6
Warning
Flame sense signal is weak. The furnace still heats, but the sensor is close to the point where the furnace starts failing to light.
Manual wording: “Flame sense micro amp signal is low.”
Documented for: Amana AMVC96, ACVC96, AMVM97, ACVM97, AM9S80, AC9S80, AR9S80, AD9S80, AR9T96, AD9T96 (seven-segment display controls)
Likely causes, most common first
- Flame sensor is coated/oxidized
- Flame sensor incorrectly positioned in burner flame
- Lazy burner flame due to improper gas pressure or combustion air
What you can safely check yourself
- No homeowner action needed - book service before it becomes an EE0 lockout
When to call a technician
Cleaning or realigning a flame sensor means working in the burner compartment of a live gas appliance.
A Amana furnace throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
