I have Amana heat pump, I dont know why it does

did you check the reset switch on the power cord

Jane, what you really need is the Owners Manual for you discontinued model AC/Heat Pump.
Call Amana Customer Support 1-800-843-0304 and they can furnish you one. Either by email attachment or by snail mail.

Hope this helps you. Please let me know.

Keep heat mode and +3 degree minimum than your room temp. Check power to heater. If no power check PCB. Thanks.

I don't think the Amana ASZ14 Heat Pump has a reset switch, but you can still reset it by resetting the power (when it's not running... turn your thermostat OFF first).

To reset the power, locate your circuit breaker box. There should be a double-breaker for the Heat Pump and another double-breaker for the Air Handler. Turn them both off for at least 2-3 minutes. Then flip them back on and turn your thermostat back ON.

You're thermostat may also have a RESET button that you can push. I have to reset mine every time I change the batteries in it.

theunit is in freeze protection.what you need to do is hold the t-stat buld to bring the temp up and it will come back on shortly.dont unplug the unit.when it gets to cald it goes into freeze protection so pipes in house dont freeze

fp means freeze protection when gets too cold out unit comes on by itself so pipes dont freeze

you have the white wire on the wrong terminal put it on the same terminal as the red wire on the capacitor and you should be fine,

You need a new control board. The relays go out on these. If your unit is less than a year old then you should still be under warranty. Unless you did not send in the warranty card, then the company only warrants the unit for 1 year after the mfg. date. You will need to provide the serial and part number to find out from Amana. The new control boards are much better by the way, and worse come to worse, they are only $130. Please let me know if this has helped in any way.

First off, you need to unplug power from the unit before handling anything on it, not just the master switch on the control board. There is still live power being fed to the unit while it is plugged in!
Now, the clicking sound you are hearing is a faulty relay on the control board. You have to replace the control board. The new ones are available from Amana/Goodman Mfg.. You will find, assuming you have more of these, your other units are going to start doing the same thing. It will be the same problem. When they send out the new control board, make sure you program the board. They no longer come pre programmed. It is actually a huge improvement on the older control board upgrades. Hope this helps, I have 140 of these in my hotel, I know them all too well. Let me know if you have any other questions and please rate this as a fix ya.

Sounds like if this is a heat pump, maybe it tripped out on high pressure. Maybe just unplugging the system may reset the control boards. This maybe due to a dirty filter or dirty evaporator coil.
