SOURCE: problem with amana central air conditioner saftey switch

The switch he jumped out was the high pressure cut out switch which tripped because you left the cover on. Sounds as though it did it's job and he cut it out to sell you another. Yes it is important to have as it protects the compressor.

SOURCE: I have an Amana ptac hotel type thru the wall

Hi,
If you reset the GFCI button and then when you go to turn it on the button pops again, then you have a short inside the units probably in the fan motor or the compressor..

I own an RCE24C2A a/c that stopped cooling last weekend. The run capacitor was bad (can bloated) and was replaced. I also found that the high pressure cut off switch was bad ( voltmeter reads open...

Before working around or with your AC unit, be sure that all power to the unit is disconnected. The switch can be replaced without having to evacuate your refigerant, it is shown how in this instructional video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z7PLhqQAlo. Determine what type of pressure switch you will need according to how many wires you need, then follow this link to purchase the switch needed: http://www.americanhvacparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=8c7070e8fb882954689484b1e9cd2880&Store_Code=AM&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=ps-amana. I see that you had a capacitor issue in the past, sometimes the HVAC repair companies won't install the new capacitor correctly on intention so as to get more of your money; if you didn't already know, the capacitor is what makes the fan run so if your system is on but the fan isn't running, your capacitor is bad. Here's how to fix it yourself for a fraction of the cost of the HVAC repair company: go to the back of your outside unit and look inside the access panel with the electrical warning sticker on it, if the capacitor is bowed up at the top, it needs to be replaced. If it turns out to be the capacitor, follow this link for a new capacitor replacement kit. The kit also comes with the proper tools and parts needed as well as detailed instructions on how to replace the part yourself. http://hvacrepairkits.com/index.php/content/article/68

Unit won't fill with water

Hi

When the Dishwasher won't fill you'll need to check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the float switch assembly. When the water fills your dishwasher, a float rises along with it. As the float reaches a certain threshold level, it shuts off the flow of water, thereby preventing a leak. Sometimes the float can get stuck in the wrong position in your dishwasher, and it can prevent your dishwasher from filling. Sometimes it can happen due to float valve and on other occasions due to float switch. Inspect the water hose coming to the dishwasher for any blockages. If the hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the float switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

We have an Amana Easy Touch Control 500, the pilot is on but oven won't heat up. We also can't self-clean because the door won't lock or sometimes it locks and won't open. I suspect the...

Hi there,
Most likely the door for your kitchen range has a sensor that is not allowing it to heat up because it detects that the door is not closed.
I would suggest you consult help from a certified technician by the manufacturer of your Kitchen range that way they would also be able to check other possible faults on your kitchen range and replacement parts would be 100% compatible.
