Amana furnace EE5: Meaning & Fix

Status codeEE5Amana

What does Amana EE5 mean?

Open fuse, with no furnace operation.

How it shows: 7-segment display on a *CVC96 or *MVC96 two-stage furnace covered by IOG-2015L, including Amana AMVC96 and ACVC96: EE5

Amana EE5 is an open fuse, and the furnace does not run. The chart pairs that with a short in the low-voltage wiring. Replace the fuse only after the short is found, which is technician work. A larger fuse is not the fix. EE0 lockout still shows a code and has tried to light. EE5 does not get that far.

Likely causes

Short in low voltage 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 EE5 is showing or the fuse opens again.
