How it shows: 7-segment display on a *CVC96 or *MVC96 two-stage furnace covered by IOG-2015L, including Amana AMVC96 and ACVC96: EE2. The induced draft blower runs and the furnace does not operate

Amana EE2 means the low-stage pressure switch circuit is not closed. The induced draft blower runs and the furnace does not light. The chart lists a blocked, pinched, or badly connected pressure switch hose, a blocked flue or inlet, a blocked drain, a weak inducer, a bad switch, and loose wiring. The outdoor pipes are the homeowner look. EE9 is the high-stage switch that will not close; low stage can still run on EE9. EE2 stops the heating cycle.

Likely causes

  • Pressure switch hose blocked, pinched, or connected improperly
  • Blocked flue and/or inlet air pipe, blocked drain, or weak induced draft blower
  • Incorrect pressure switch set point or malfunctioning switch contacts
  • Loose or improperly connected wiring

Safe checks for EE2

  1. Look at the outdoor flue and inlet air pipes for snow, ice or debris. Do not dismantle them
  2. Technicianinspect the pressure switch hose, flue and inlet piping, the drain, induced draft blower performance, pressure switch operation and the wiring
Safety firstIf you smell gas, do not touch any electrical switch or use a phone in the building; leave immediately and call your gas supplier from outside. Turn off electrical power at the furnace switch or breaker before opening any panel, and never bypass or jumper a limit, rollout or pressure switch. Gas valve, burner, venting, wiring and control-board work should be done by a licensed HVAC technician.

Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.

When to call a pro

Call a licensed HVAC technician if the outdoor pipes are clear and EE2 continues. Low stage will not light until that switch closes.
