This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and electric heater for hotel rooms, apartments, assisted living units, or additions where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control on a standard 230/208V circuit.
The DRY093J25AXXX is an Amana R-32 PTAC built for hospitality rooms, multi-family units, and additions where a self-contained, per-room system replaces central ductwork. It combines cooling, electric resistance heat, and enhanced dehumidification in one chassis, and it meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
Critical Fit & Power Requirements
- Wall sleeve opening: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (14 in standard depth for WS900E/WS900QW sleeves).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Compressor draws 4.3A; with the 2.5/2.1 kW heater installed, total amps are 11.2/10.1A and MCA is 14.1A.
- NEMA plug: 6-15P factory-installed power cord. Maximum overcurrent protection (breaker) is 15A.
- Power cord includes LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) protection per UL 484, standard on all units under 250V.
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included and must be ordered separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire or sub-base installations - if you need 265V, see the commercial sibling chassis DRY094J.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings other than 42 in x 16-1/16 in.
The technical friction point on any PTAC retrofit is condensate drainage: a level sleeve traps water against the drywall and rear chassis over time. Pitch the sleeve 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall during framing, using a torpedo level set on the sleeve's base rail before securing it - this directs condensate to the exterior instead of pooling internally. Confirm the sleeve extends a minimum of 1/4 in beyond the outside wall face per the framing diagram, matching the rough opening spec of roughly 42-1/4 in wide x 16-1/4 in minimum height. This is standard property management practice for avoiding warranty callbacks tied to interior water damage, and it should be verified before drywall closes, not after.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced dehumidification rate of 2.6 pints/hr, useful in humid climates or rooms with high occupant turnover.

- Fresh air ventilation of 65 CFM for make-up air in occupied rooms.
- EER of 11.8/11.8 across both 230V and 208V operation.
- Meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 efficiency standards.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip supplements compressor heating needs in cooler climates.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high wall sleeve opening (standard 14 in depth sleeves such as WS900E/WS900QW).
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via the factory-installed 6-15P NEMA plug.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire or sub-base installations - the 265V commercial sibling is chassis DRY094J, which requires its own Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings outside the 42 in x 16-1/16 in standard.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included - order separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included - order separately.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high opening, with a standard 14 in depth sleeve such as the WS900E or WS900QW.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This unit ships with a 6-15P power cord and a factory MCA of 14.1 amps with the 2.5/2.1 kW heater installed. The maximum overcurrent protection (breaker size) is 15 amps.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V circuits. If you need a 265V commercial unit, the sibling chassis DRY094J is built for that voltage and requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A, sold separately.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] - installer licensing requirements for warranty validity are not specified in the provided catalog data. Refer to the manufacturer warranty document in the Resources tab for exact terms.
Will this fit a standard 42-inch by 16-inch wall sleeve opening?
Yes. This chassis is designed for the industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings.
