Amana PTH153B35AE Air Conditioner - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I know this is late but I had to add a solution to this problem since I had the exact same problem and was able to solve it. The probelm is not your control board. On these units, the heat pump compressor will not kick in unless the temperature you set on the control panel is within 2-1/4 degrees (or 4 degrees depending on your unit model. Otherwise, the unit locks out the compressor until the electric heat coil bring the indoor temperature up to that level - and then will switch the compressor back on for heat pump operation. So the problem is not the control panel or the compressor, it the electric heat coil. The coil has two manual limit switches on it that may be tripped and should be checked. The coil can be easily accessed by shutting down the power, removing 4 screws around the air outlet, pushing the screen up and sliding the panel out the top. The power wires can remain in place while the limit switches are reset. Hope it works.

sounds like your switch dial is backfit try pull it out and reset it back the right way

Your question is worded strangely, did you have an electrical fire in the unit? My guess is that you have not kept the filter clean and now you need to take it to a service company for the replacement of the heater's fuseable link.

check thermostat contacts, possibly not sending signal to pick up

Yes you could have a bad overload on the heater element which is fairly simple to fix. To test for this pull the heater out and get an ohmeter set it to continuity and check the continuity first through the entire heater element then if there is none pin point the overloads and check to see which one has no continuity.

The important consideration is the rotational speed and adding extra horsepower really doesn't achieve anything because the motor isn't really under 'load' as it would be in say a winch. It is better to stick to OEM Specs https://www.google.com/search?q=amana+80+sse+blower+motor ..

Does the power light come on? If yes, then you can do a reset as below: There is a master switch on the bottom left of the control board. Slide that to 'off' position. Then press the hot and cold switch/key together and then slide the master switch back to 'on'. Please put your response/observation here if that does not work or there is power light as asked on top. Thanks

i'm not familiar with your specific unit but ..sounds like an electronic gas value has gone bad or has a bad connection when that happened to my friend it wasn't that expensive to have it fixed .. BYW it acted like this for a while then stopped working completely

Hi, Please hit the "constant fan" button until the "on" button is removed from your Amana screen. Thank you.

bad control board

blower capacitors or motor bad

you will need to call for service. if it needs freon you cannot recharge it freon is expensive and requires a license.

Self evaporating simply means there is a drain pan with a heater device installed that will evaporate and condensate that drains from the unit into the pan.

You do not need the external drain pan unless the unit makes more water than the drain pan and drain pan heater can handle.

switch thermostat to emergency heat. Call for service the unit should be under warranty. Be aware that using heating strips will cause your electric to go extremely high.

batteries in the right way? If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79
