I have a 7 year old Amana Furnace (80 SV)
Mod# GUIDO70CA30
S/N: 991120784
The furnace will try to start several times and then shut down. The fuses and switches are all OK. The LED on the control panel does not indicate any trouble codes except a flashing 1 indicating a several start attempts and subsequent lock out.
This unit has no pilot (ignitor) and no thermocouple to the gas valve. I believe the problem is the flame sensor. When I test the sensor with an ohmmeter it reads open. Heating the sensor with a torch makes no difference. I'd like to make sure before I start replacing parts. Outside temperatures are in single digits and I need to get this fixed.
Thanks
