Billy when your control is saying that the HI LIMIT SWITCH is OPEN that's telling you that the safety control thinks the heater is at its maximum safe temperature so has shut-down.

As your heater isn't running I'm guessing that there is a switch wiring error or a damaged control or temperature sensor.

Check your wiring against the drawing in the Amana manual we cited below;

More fan limit wiring is at the link I'll give next; I'm afraid to bet your safety on speculation when I just can't see exactly what's wired, present, and going on at your installation.

Do you think it's time to get help from a trained HVAC service tech?

FAN LIMIT SWITCH TROUBLESHOOTING

On 2021-01-24 by Billy

Thank you so much for all.

I’ve replaced the limit switch, (photo included but posted on our original page & waiting for approval + there’s no reply link on this page so I hope this works as I’m confused how/where to reply, sorry for my repeated posts) but to make sure we’re both talking of the same thing because there’s a ‘manual reset limit switch’ up on the blower fan, what I replaced is mounted above the burners - states 325 degrees on it.

Furnace now does not start or run after replacement, it’s dead - does it make a difference which of the two connectors (ie pos/neg) the two wires connect to my replaced part?

Was I supposed to press the little button on the ‘manual reset limit switch’ located up on the blower fan? I have the correct oem part, all installation and reassembly went perfect.

ASAP lol, it’s getting cold :/ Lastly I found the flash codes, 4 flashes = Open High Limit Switch, I’ve yet to research it but will as I wait for your reply

On 2021-01-18 by (mod) - advice for Amana gas furnace showing error code of 4 red light flashes

Billy

With the immediate life safety worry under control per your vigilance, what's next;

If the heater is being cycled off by the limit control we ought to see the temperature dial reaching the upper limit or close to it;

Some techs advise removing the limit control and cleaning the sensor - typically a bimetallic spring wound in a spiral.

I'd be nervous about relying on that approach; though I might try it as an experiment I'd instead replace the limit control switch and I'd inspect the plenum for sooting.

According to Amana's error code guide,

Four LED flashes indicates a Pressure issue. High limit cut-off due to faulty wiring or bad filters.

Recommended action: Replace or clean the air filter; clean drain tubes of moisture or debris;

May have an open limit switch that requires a jump, ensure not to run it with the main switch bypassed.

It was a disappointment to visit the Amana website where the company either has hidden or simply decided not to offer any Amana furnace troubleshooting help; Goodman brand diagnostics may still work for Amana gas furnace owners.

FAN LIMIT SWITCH TROUBLESHOOTING

On 2021-01-18 by Billy

Thank you sir, yes I've been checking and monitoring ever since the problem arose, I've found no flue gas spillage or any gas abnormalities.

I should de-emphasize the "flashing flames" as I saw this only once upon the unit fighting itself back & forth to shut down or not -

this is the "clang-clang-clang" which is actually more of a "chatter" like a "click-click-click...

it's very quick and appears to be the thermostat telling the furnace "no we haven't reached my temperature setting yet" but a safety in the furnace is saying "to hell with you i'm shutting the gas off"

in other words they're fighting each other in this brief moment - then draft inducer motor shuts off for 15 seconds, starts back up igniter glows and all runs perfect to finish.

Is there instructions to the knowledge & tools needed to perform a complete cleaning of the flue, or can this only be achieved via a professionally trained tech?

Still getting the 4 code flashes during the failing moments.

On 2021-01-18 by (mod) - Amana Air Command Hi Efficiency 80 Gas Furnace - Model GCI115X35A keeps re-setting - 4 red light error code flashes

Billy

I would check safety conditions first such as flue gas spillage

On 2021-01-17 by Billy

Amana Air Command Hi Efficiency 80 Gas Furnace - Model GCI115X35A P1155313F - Year 1988

Furnace starts and goes thru all phases nicely to running perfect for 3-5 minutes, then the burner flames go out and it immediately
starts trying to fire again 3 to 8 times in very fast repetition making a clang-clang-clang sound as slight flames shoot
on-off-on-off-on-off...

then it calms down for 20 seconds during which the draft inducer motor shuts off and starts up again then
the igniter glows back up and it fires perfectly and runs great for 3-5 minutes...

this cycle repeats itself, usually just once,
until the home reaches thermostat set temperature of which then the shut down cycle is perfect. I must note three of every four
times the furnace will perform its entire cycle perfect without the above problem.

Lastly, I've seen the "flashing red light"
producing 4 flashes during the problem, but I don't know the code's meaning...

owners manual, parts diagram, and flashing code

meanings cannot be found on Amana's website nor anywhere on the net in my searches.

I replaced the flame sensor but that was not the problem. The filter is clean and properly installed, intake vents and registers
are clean, the pressure switch & draft inducer motor seem to be working good, quality new in home thermostat is only 6 months old.

I believe it's either the flue needs to be removed from the draft inducer motor & cleaned, or the fan limit switch mounted above
the burners is failing.

If anyone has experience or knowledge of this same problem, possibly familiar with this furnace model, I would appreciate the help
and any knowledge or questions, thank you. -Billy
