Possible Causes
Weak or mispositioned ignitor, Dirty burners, Low gas pressure, Faulty gas valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off gas and power before burner or gas valve work.
- Observe ignition sequence: Through the sight glass, watch for ignitor glow and gas ignition. If ignitor glows but burners light weakly or not at all, suspect gas flow or burner issues.
- Clean burners: Remove burners and clean rust and debris from ports. Ensure proper alignment on reinstallation.
- Check ignitor position: Verify the ignitor tip is correctly positioned in the gas stream per Amana specifications.
If ignition still fails after cleaning and inspection, a technician should check gas pressure and valve operation.
