PTAC PDE12K3SB - No Heat

Determined that there is 220 power to the unit but no heat - heating coil looks good - could be problem with control pad relay

Answer This Question
  • MrGFixit Dec 25, 2007

    Thanks for the info. What does the switch look like? Is there a site that supplies a diagram?

    Is was told the control boards are blowing out in these units and causing a relay to fail.

If the unit will come on in heat mode but won't blow hot air, check the Hi-limit switch and heating element. They are located between the evaporator coil and blower wheel and can be serviced by removing the front cover, sliding the unit out slightly, and then removing the blower cover on the top of the unit.
Post back if you have any questions.
Thanks/Mike

    I have not had any unusually high failures with the boards myself, but it is easy enough to check. Remove the heater assembly and attach your meter leads to the wires going to the heater element, making sure they won't ground out or get in the blower. Plug the unit back in and turn on the heat. If you get 220V, the board and relay are ok. There are 2 limit switches mounted to the heater assembly bracket. Both these should read closed when you check them for continuity with your meter, as should your heater. The limit switches are black plastic with metal bottoms pointing toward the element.

    I don't know of a good place on the web to direct you to a picture. You can go to sears.com, click on parts, enter your model number and view a parts breakdown and parts list. It is not very detailed and many of the parts are listed but not illustrated.

    I will see if I have anything on disc that I might be able to post on here.

    Thanks/Mike

    I don't have anything that I can post on this site, sorry. Were you able to check power to the element?

    Since you have not rated either of the solutions, the first one has been credited with solving your problem.

    Thanks/Mike

I think so may be the heating coils are not getting heat without power supply check out the plug in wire and whole supply.

PTAC Blows Cold Air in Heating Mode when it reaches -3F less than the Set Value on the Thermostat - Model: AZ65H15DABW6
It sounds like your PTAC (packaged terminal air conditioner) unit is malfunctioning. When the thermostat is set to heating mode, the PTAC should be blowing warm air, not cold air. There are a few possible causes for this issue:
  1. The PTAC may be low on refrigerant. If the unit is low on refrigerant, it may not be able to properly heat the air.
  2. The PTAC's reversing valve may be stuck in the cooling position. The reversing valve is responsible for switching the flow of refrigerant between heating and cooling mode. If it is stuck in the cooling position, the PTAC will blow cold air even when the thermostat is set to heating mode.
  3. The PTAC's heating element may be malfunctioning. If the heating element is not functioning properly, the PTAC will not be able to heat the air.
I recommend contacting a trained HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the issue with your PTAC. They will be able to determine the cause of the problem and repair it properly.

Can someone tell me how to fix the heating coil on my amana ptac?
How much power is the question. Remember, heating coils usually require 240 volts. You likely are only getting 115 due to a faulty limit switch. 115 will carry through to the other side of the switch from the coil side leading you to believe the switch is good. Remove both sides of switch and test continuity.

My AMANA PTAC unit model # PTH093b35ae is not producing heat. My air conditioner works fine. So, I get cold air. However, when I switch to heat, it still runs but does not produce any heat.
It is not switching from cooling into heating. You probably need to have a service tech look at the unit. Sorry. It could be control board or stuck reversing valve.

My Sanyo PTAC heather stop working. ac working, fan working .
Hi,
It could be the relay or the strip heat....
To figure out what is wrong you will need to check if power is getting to the strip heat or not...should have 220-240 V across the two legs going to the heat strip...when the heat should be on.

Amana PTAC PTC093A35AA won't blow heat
The reset button is located behing a panel on the front of the unit that is labeled Heat Reset. If that label is gone then look around, it is a small hole, small enough for a paper clip to fit through.
That being said, I have 137 of these units in one of my hotels and have not had a single one needing to be reset. You probably are going to need a new control board kit. These can be purchased from Amana. They are $130. Make sure that you have pulled the heater coil out and inspected it first. Also, there was a recall years ago where Amana was supposed to contact and send out new voltage switches. These are the round black things that the Brown heater wires connect to on the upper and lower side of the heating coil. You should also try to replace those if you find the coil in good condition. I have had those resolve heating issues. Most of the heating issues were a result of a bad relay on the control board though.
Please remember to rate this fix.

Are you getting 120 vac or 220 vac at the unit? Check the voltage at the first terminals inside the unit as well as the breaker. You should have 220 vac at the elements and you are dropping a leg some where.

Amana PTAC
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.
