Is it hard to install a heat strip in a model#57915541 serial#54936348 air conditioner

PTH is a heat pump. PTC is an air conditioner only. I don't believe Amana makes electric heat strip-only models based on what I see in their literature. You can just do a google search and look for yourself.

Hi,

Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

yes!...It has electric heating elements also called strips that come on when pulling heat from the air is not practical..

You can get the heat strip at your local heating air distributer try looking for cc dickson company you will need the model number and serial number

I see what you see also in the manual. The difference is the Heat Strip package that part is optional and the 600212-001 with the optional heat strips becomes the new 600315-001 I talked to Dometic Duo-Therm and the models are the same but they both are not heat pumps but the new heat strip package comes on when told to go into heat mode when you change the thermostat to heat. The part you purchased will fit both model numbers you listed for your roof top air conditioner. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Check your control box at ceiling assy., and see if you notice an extra plug in side or end, where the heat strip would connect first. If not, Write the model and serial number off the control box, as well as model number off the bottom of the upper unit (roof) which should be visible when ceiling assy, filter section is removed and call dometic customer service at 1-800-544-4881, and they will advise you as to proper control box required, and if anything else is required as well.

heat strip is possibly burnt out and will need to be replaced. The strip sits inside the unit right behind the evaporator coil, To access the heat strip you will need to remove the unit from its casing and place it on a level surface.. The heat strip is possibly in a metal casing and the heat strips look like the heat strips in a toaster. The assembly comes out by removal of a few phillips head screws and has an electrical disconnect plug that powers the coil. Take the coil assembly along with the model and serial number to the nearest appliance parts house for replacement part. Good Luck hope this helped you somewhat

It was quite simple, just installing the heat strip and my model only required removing the grill cover and mounting the element. The other optional installations didn't apply to my model.

thanks,
