Hi, from the above explanation, it is seems to be a thermostat or board problem just like the previous person told you and the price to replace the affected part is expensive because it's old fashioned and the parts are scares to get. The thermostat should be around $150 or less if that is the problem but the board is within the price range you were told.

Take care

I would be 'surprised' if this motor would ever run again, cleaned or not cleaned.

I suggest you look into buying a new/different AC unit.

good luck!

The limit switch will have a small button in the middle. Push to reset. If no button and limit is open. Bad switch. Replace it. Russ

replace the ptac board

there is a drain plug inside unit.pull unit out of hole and look down to right side of unit in the drain pan you will see a plastic drain port knock it out and the unit will drain

Do you have power going to it?. Sometimes if a cheap outlet is used it will break the connection when a loasd is put on it. With the unit plugged in and in on position, wiggle the cord st the outlet. Confirm you have power to the AC Unit, Let me know.

it is call a base pan part #20403508..
let me know if it helps

It's a done deal. Thanks.

Chances are you have a bad switch or it need programing. Call service tech and ask for free estimate. Russ

too many tools needed and know how

Roger they have a ground fault plug on the and they may not rest. If your not grounded they will not reset. Rusty

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.

Sounds like a bad power switch or a bad tstat.

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 ..
