Hello, The Amana AMS9 furnace is flashing the Red LED 3 times, when it is powered on. The furnace lights up and shuts down, again flashing the Red led 3 times. What could be the problem?

Cleaned the HSI and flame sensor. This indicates a power switch problem, and there are 2 power switches. if fan not blowing enough air sail switch will shut down possible bad fan motor There is sound of water coming from the furnace motor. Resolved: I found the problem to be water in the inducer motor. Dismantled the motor and drained the water, noticed that after the furnace shuts off there is some water getting drained. The water in the motor seems to have affected the pressure switch. Thanks for all responses.

Be sure your vent to outside is clear for sail switch air flow. Sail switch is called an air prover. Check reset and be sure gas is present. If it has a good igniter and flame sense them meter the motor. Motor may be to slow to close switch

SOURCE: Power LED blinks red

it is a bad fan. it also could be a power supply. Quite often the real problem is dirt clogging up the fan(s) to the point that they need to be replaced. Operation of the set in a dirty environment is not a good idea

Check 470 uF 450 V in the power supply. I don't know if the chassis is the AE-5, but I had a similar case and the capacitor was bad.

Please tell me if it worked.

The high voltage power supply is going bad on both units.. Pretty soon, it won't power up at all. For a fact.
Don't try to replace the power supplies, TV's are too cheap.

York Diamond 90 furnace blows cold air

There maybe a few issues. They have multiple safeties on furnaces. With this in mind this process to find the problem would take a Technician to check these safeties. It could be a flame sensor or thermocoupler each senses a flame or heat to keep the gas going. Also the damper for the flue must open for the gas to stay on. There may be more safeties on this and each safety sends a 24 volt current back to control module in order for the gas valve to stay open. If these aren't being met it will try around three times and go into a lock out mode which will keep gas shut off entirely.

Problem for Sony Grand WEGA KDF-55WF655. Hello,

5 times Red LED blinks means Lamp Driver Error. (KDF-55WF655)
2 possible reasons, either Lamp is gone or Ballast Supply got bad.
Replace lamp first, in most cases it solved the problem.
How old is this TV and did you replaced lamp recently?
Thanks.

While charging my O2 atom exec, the LED (Flash light) does not glow red ?

I have the same problem. What I did several time is to actually shut down the phone, remove the battery and leave it like that for several hours (3 to 4 hours). Then, I put the battery back in the phone, and it would charge again. However, due to the long time with no battery, the phone's clock would be reset to January 2007.

I found no other work around right now. However, I have to do this more and more often, almost once a week ...
