Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.
A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.

sounds
When your air condiiioner operates normally, you will hear sounds such as: l PINGING or CLICKING as water droplets hit the condenser. Water droplets help cool the condenser. l AIR MOVEMENT from the fan, especially on QUICK COMFORT setting. l CLICKS from the cooling cycle. Sounds may also be caused by house construction - such as vibration of the unit due to wall construction or an unsteady window mounting area.
