Amana Furnace Three LED Flashes - How to fix?

A furnace is an appliance in your home that heats the space through the circulation of hot air. This is the primary difference between a furnace and a boiler, which heats your home using the circulation of hot water. An incredible amount of heat is generated on the insight of the furnace via combustion (when a fuel source like gas is involved) or electrical resistance (in the case of an electric unit), which is then circulated around the home through existing ducts and vents. In other words, your furnace is the device that creates the heat that your HVAC system uses to regulate the temperature all throughout the year. A furnace is the most efficient and economical device for organizing autonomous heating and heating of a private house. With proper operation of the equipment, the appliance is not capable of causing harm to others. But, sometimes unforeseen situations happen. For example, equipment failure. Whatever the malfunctions: small or larger, they need to be efficiently and promptly eliminated, because a breakdown of your furnace can cause not only an accident, but also an explosion. Many malfunctions can be eliminated by the users themselves, without waiting for the professional inspection. If your Amana furnace alerts you with three flashes, it is an indication that the pressure switch is open. The defective pressure switch may need to be replaced after the check. An important but often overlooked maintenance task is remembering to change the air filter on your furnace regularly. When your filter is working properly, your furnace is able to function at peak performance. Open or slide the door panel to get access to your Amana furnace. You will usually find the filter near where the cold air enters the unit, either in the cold air return duct or the entrance to the blower chamber (sometimes in both locations). Slide out the old air filter and replace it with a new one. Make certain that the “air flow” signifiers on the filter are facing the correct direction, towards the blower and away from the cold air. Replace the panel or door to your furnace. Additionally, it’s also important to regularly vacuum vents and check registers to make sure that they aren’t blocked. And it’s never a bad idea to clean inside your furnace, vacuum both in and around the unit’s blower to remove extra dust and debris that may have accumulated. If you’re not able to get the problem resolved with the above troubleshooting tips, have an experienced furnace professional investigate further to identify the cause.
