How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before working on thermostat or control wiring.
Steps to address E7 (thermostat/control error):
- Check control configuration: On Amana PTAC units, remove the front cover and locate the configuration dip switches on the control board. Verify they are set correctly for internal vs. external thermostat control per the installation manual.
- Inspect thermostat wiring: If using a wall thermostat, remove the front panel and verify that R, C, Y, G, W, etc., are wired to the correct terminals on both the thermostat and PTAC control board. Tighten any loose screws.
- Test thermostat: Temporarily bypass the thermostat by jumping R to Y (cool) and R to G (fan) at the PTAC control board with power off, then restore power to see if the unit responds. Remove jumpers after testing.
- Replace faulty components: If the unit works when bypassed, replace the wall thermostat. If it still shows E7 with correct wiring and configuration, the PTAC control board may be defective and require replacement.
Always label wires before removing them from thermostat or control terminals to avoid miswiring.
