Heat pump works in emergency heat, but not in auxiliary heat
I set the thermostat for 70 degrees. It comes on always in auxillary heat and does not shut off when it reaches 70 degrees. It is a heat pump, I am assuming, it might be the thermostat? But when the air conditioner is on, it turns off when it reaches it's temperature.

A/c units have lots of water in the trays
units drain by gravity you need 1/8 of an inch drop per foot of drain, units may also not be leveled properly, or look where drain terminates to see if it is a consistent drip, if not unit is not draining fast enough

Exterior fan doesn't spin unless lightly pushed.
If it spins up to speed with a little help from your hand or whatever, then my guess is that a fan start capacitor is faulty. It gives fan a voltage surge/spike to get it up to speed from off.

Amana Cooling Condensing Unit fan won't kick on
be aware that not repairing this asap that you are causing yourself more problems First I would change out the fan capacitor and see if this could be the problem. Secondly if the capacitor isn,t the problem change out the motor . By continuing to allow the system to cycle like this the compressor will take a dive on you costing more . Good Luck

Breaker trips on condenser unit on heat pump after
Hi, check amps on unit, and make sure breaker matches, check unit voltage tag, it will tell you what size breaker you need, or may be breaker is loosing resistance, replace breaker, if problem continues, a/c maybe over working because of high temp, temp. affect amperages, and that would be normal, if it trips after few hrs. also check a/c for lack of freon, sometimes, they need a tap up of refrigerant, not enough freon and they would run longer, get hotter and eventual trips. breaker doing his job. good luck

Amana Cooling Condensing Unit fan stops spinning after 15 mins
Capacitor, dirty condencer coil causing the motor amps to run too high. But most likely worn bearing on blade side of motor causing it to pull to one side causing it to over heat and shut down. Sleve bearings should have no side play.

My air kicks off in a very short time
Well that is why it is behaving abnormally. The correct temp for it to start and when to stop are guided by the thermostat sensors, so If one is missing, its disrupting the entire cycle. Please have it replaced.................sodeep

Wiring for an Amana PTL
That is a stinger leg and you will burn the unit up. 2-@110/ground is what you need.

Amana Heat Pump Tripping Breaker
My guess I would say, you either have a wire that is short to ground or if the contacter pulls in, then I would say the compresser is short to ground.There also could be some capacitors that could be short.

PTC153B50AM REPLACED POWER CORD ON RECALL
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.

Blwoing cold air
Possibly, A thermal fuse located in the heater element circut could burn out. the CIrcut would show full voltage to the element but no heat out. Often there is also an auto reset high limit swich this could be out also opr instead of the fuse. THE FUSE IS ALWAYS LOCATED WHERE IT CAN "SEE" the elements. I E Inside the case where the elements are.
