  1. I have a Amana ptac that when turned on if you push the cool or heat button it will display the temp and show d4 and you hear a relay click. The unit will go into heat mode but in the cool mode only the two fans will come on. I jumped out the compressor the unit cools very well. Can anyone offer help on this d4 code?
