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.

This is the link to find the manual for your unit. Make sure the model number is correct. You should be able to find the info you are looking for if it is possible to disable the energy saver. Hopefully this will help.

I have the Maytag version of this machine and the blinking triangle light means the water tray is full. The machine won't operate until that water has been drained -it's the little black tube with the plug at the bottom behind the machine. Pull the plug, tip it down (preferably with a shallow pan underneath to catch the water) and drain as much as you can. Once you've done this, put the plug back in and it should start.

you need to empty the drain pan every couple of hours depending on the humidity level

Unit#2 -Sounds like the contacts on the master switch are welded closed or the switch is broken, Replacing the switch should fix this unit.
#1 is a little more difficult to diagnose. The compressor is being taken off line by a circuit that protects the compressor from damage either; 1- liquid refrigerant getting back to the compressor which can be caused by something as simple as a clogged return air filter or evaporator coil on a heat pump or 2- overload situation caused by a bad condenser motor or a clogged condenser coil. The first thing you need to do is clean both coils and replace the filter,. Then check to be sure your getting good airflow across both coils. I think it's most likely an airflow issue I hope this resolves the problem GL!

Empty the water pan. It not sealed so dont slosh it around. Mine did the same thing. Amana rep was an ***. Wouldn't give me an inkling of what to do. So i started to fiddle around. There was a lot of water in it Be careful. I brought mine to the tub and drained it for close to 2 min. Started right back up!

Reset the unit to factory setting by take the master switch off of 10 sec.
Then press and hold the cool and heat button down while turning the master switch back on.

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

If this is a window unit, the tray drain is located at the bottom outside. It may be clogged, but also the unit may not have been installed correctly to direct water flow toward the outside drain.

All this means is that the Copeland monitor is sensing amp draw on the compressor but it is not detecting a Y signal calling for the compressor to run. If there is no problem with the contactor and equipment is running fine, check for the jumper wire that carries the Y signal over to the compressor monitor.

you probably have a packaged unit with a line voltage thermostat which is out of calibration...not an unusual situation. other than replace the stat, why not just use it by just setting where you need to - to get the results you desire? use a regular thermometer placed where you want to control to help you adjust properly.

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.

Goodman Industries has purchased Amana. So go to Goodman website for info. Without model number I cannot look up error code

You need to reinstall the software http://rollingskygame.com/run-3

It's not fixed formula, but as per basic rule, easy method tocalculate for motor capacitor. (2650 X full load amps) divided by supply voltage(mentionedin capacitor)= MFD. (Plus or minus 10% to 15%) Ex: 1 Tr which gives full load amps of 6 amps (2650 X 6)=15900 divided by 240(VAC)volts=66.25MFD (10% to 15% plus or minus) You can fix 56.32 mfd or 76.18mfd So, you can go in between 56.32 mfd and 76.18 mfd. If you calculate of 440VAC capacitor, it will be 36 mfd. Hope, it will be helpful . Thanks.

What is -the outside?
Heat pump, gas, electric heat combination?
You may need to back track, double check the Honeywell configuration jumper or software settings for your type of heating used.

Try changing the board may be defectivive

Try empting the reservoir located on the bottom back of the machine.

There should be a fan symbol on your remote control. In the "mode" control, there should be the following options.. Heat, cool, Auto and fan. If you select fan, only the fan will run. No heating or cooling.

Check voltage in , there could be one side of breaker burned causing only one side to come through. This happens on older main breakers frequently which messes up whole house.
