Amana Furnace Error Code Continuous Light

A Continuous Light on an Amana furnace indicates an internal fault within the integrated ignition control module. The board has detected a failure in its own internal circuitry and has entered a hard lockout state. Unlike other fault codes that point to external sensors or wiring, this code originates inside the board itself. The furnace will not operate until the control module is replaced.

No. The Continuous Light condition means the integrated ignition control has locked itself out and halted furnace operation. The furnace will not attempt to ignite or heat in this state. You should not attempt to bypass the lockout, as the control module manages critical safety functions including gas valve control and flame supervision.

The cost to resolve a Continuous Light fault depends primarily on the price of the replacement integrated ignition control module and labor if you hire a technician. Parts costs for integrated ignition control boards typically range from $80 to $300 depending on the specific model. Professional labor charges will add to that total, with the full repair generally falling in the range of $150 to $500 or more depending on your location and service provider.

The Continuous Light fault requires replacement of the integrated ignition control module, which is not field-repairable. A knowledgeable DIYer with electrical experience can replace the control board by carefully documenting and transferring all wiring connections to the new module. However, working on furnace gas and electrical systems carries safety risks, and many homeowners choose to have a qualified technician perform the repair.

Power cycling or resetting the furnace may temporarily clear the lockout, but the internal fault within the control board will typically cause it to re-enter the locked-out state during or after the next heating cycle. A reset does not repair the internal fault, so the continuous light condition will return. Replacing the control module is the only lasting solution.
