This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and heater built for coastal properties — hotels, condos, and additions near saltwater — where standard PTAC finishes corrode faster than inland units. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with added protection against salt-air corrosion.
The DRY093J25CXXX is an R-32 PTAC with electric heat, built on Amana's enhanced-dehumidification J-chassis and finished with seacoast corrosion protection (Feature Code C) for coastal hospitality and residential installs. This model 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 required: industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high.
- Voltage: 230/208V. Valid operating range 197V minimum to 253V maximum.
- Amperage with electric heat installed: 11.2A (230V) / 10.1A (208V). MCA 14.1A, MOP 15A.
- Plug type: NEMA 6-15P, factory-installed on an LCDI power cord per UL 484 (applies because this unit operates under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve is NOT included — sold separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille is NOT included — sold separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire or sub-base installations — for a 265V version of this chassis, see the DRY094J commercial sibling, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard sleeve openings outside 42 in x 16-1/16 in.
Matching the NEMA plug to the wrong receptacle is the most common electrical callback on PTAC swaps — this unit ships with a 6-15P cord, and it will not seat correctly in a mismatched 6-20R or 5-15R receptacle. Before the unit arrives on site, verify the wall receptacle against a NEMA Receptacle Chart and confirm it's wired for 230/208V single-phase, not 115V. Beyond the plug, sleeve pitch matters just as much: set the sleeve level side-to-side but pitched 1/4 bubble toward the outside wall using a Torpedo Level, so condensate drains outward instead of collecting against the drywall. Document both the plug verification and the pitch check on the property's install checklist — this is standard property-management practice for avoiding water-intrusion claims and repeat electrical service calls on hospitality PTAC turnovers.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced dehumidification rate of 2.6 pints/hr for humid coastal and hospitality environments.
- Seacoast corrosion protection (Feature Code C) for extended service life in salt-air locations.
- R-32 refrigerant chassis, engineered for lower environmental impact than legacy refrigerants.
- Built-in fresh-air ventilation at 65 CFM.
- EER of 11.8 at both 230V and 208V for consistent cooling efficiency across supply voltage.
- Single-stage 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat strip supplements cooling-season-only chassis with cold-weather backup heat.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This unit is designed to install into an industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (such as the WS900E, WS900QW, or the WS900SC seacoast triple-protected sleeve), but the sleeve itself, the drain kit, and the exterior grille all ship separately.
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration with the 2.5/2.1 kW electric heat installed has a total MCA of 14.1A and an MOP of 15A. It ships with a factory-installed 6-15P NEMA plug on an LCDI power cord (UL 484). Confirm your receptacle is wired for a matching NEMA 6-15R before ordering.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This is a 230/208V unit and is not rated for 265V circuits. The 265V commercial version of this chassis is the DRY094J, which requires an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A, along with factory-installed cartridge-style time-delay fuses. Do not attempt to hardwire this 230/208V model as a 265V substitute.
Does this require a licensed electrician or HVAC professional to install and keep the warranty valid?
Exact warranty conditions are set by the manufacturer warranty document. Refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for the full terms before installation.
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 sleeve opening. It is not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom-depth openings without confirming sleeve compatibility first.
