How it shows: 7-segment display on a *CVC96 or *MVC96 two-stage furnace covered by IOG-2015L, including Amana AMVC96 and ACVC96: EE9. High stage does not run; low stage can still operate. The induced draft blower is running

Amana EE9 means the high-stage pressure switch did not close. The furnace can still run on low stage, with the induced draft blower operating. The chart says to inspect the pressure switch hose, the flue and inlet piping, the drain, inducer performance, and the wiring. Look at the outdoor terminations. EE2 is the low-stage version of an open switch and does not leave you with low-stage heat.

Likely causes

  • Pressure switch hose blocked, pinched, or needing repair
  • Blocked flue and/or inlet air piping, or wrong length, elbows or termination
  • Drain system problem
  • Induced draft blower performance problem
  • Loose wiring

Safe checks for EE9

  1. Look at the outdoor flue and inlet terminations for a blockage. Low stage may still heat the house
  2. Technicianinspect the pressure switch hose, flue and inlet piping, the drain, induced draft blower performance 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 high stage never comes on and EE9 remains after the outdoor pipes are clear.
