This is a wall-sleeve air conditioner and heater for hotel rooms, apartments, or additions near coastal environments where central ductwork isn't available. It's built for property managers and homeowners who need self-contained, per-room climate control with added protection against salt-air corrosion.
The DRY093J35CXXX is an Amana R-32 PTAC chassis built for per-room cooling and electric-strip heating in hospitality and multifamily settings, including coastal properties where salt-air exposure accelerates corrosion. This chassis carries Amana's seacoast corrosion-protection package (feature code C), intended for oceanfront or high-humidity coastal installations. All units meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1. 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: Standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high (fits WS900E, WS900QW, WS900SC seacoast sleeve, and related Amana sleeve families).
- Voltage: 230/208V. Minimum 197V, maximum 253V per manufacturer note.
- Electric heat: 3.5 kW at 230V / 3.0 kW at 208V, single stage.
- Total heater amps: 15.5A (230V) / 14.1A (208V). MCA: 19.5A. MOP: 20A.
- Power cord: Factory-installed NEMA 6-20P plug with LCDI device per UL 484 (applies to all units under 250V).
- Wall Sleeve NOT included. Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included. Both must be ordered separately.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V hardwire-only applications — that configuration requires the DRY094J commercial chassis with an Amana sub-base or hard-wire kit, not this unit's power cord.
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard or custom sleeve openings; deep or oversized sleeves require a different Amana sleeve model.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced dehumidification: removes up to 2.6 pints per hour, useful in humid coastal or shoulder-season climates.
- Fresh air ventilation damper rated at 65 CFM for make-up air without opening a window.
- Seacoast corrosion protection package for oceanfront and high-salinity environments.
- R-32 refrigerant chassis.
- EER of 11.8 at both 230V and 208V ratings, so efficiency doesn't drop when installed on a 208V feed.
- Single-stage 3.5/3.0 kW electric heat strip supplements compressor heating needs in shoulder-season conditions.

Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits industry-standard 42 in x 16-1/16 in wall sleeve openings (WS900E, WS900QW, and seacoast-rated WS900SC).
- Compatible with 230/208V circuits via factory-installed NEMA 6-20P plug.
- Not compatible with 115V circuits.
- Not compatible with 265V applications — that requires the DRY094J commercial chassis plus an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect PSHW04A.
- Wall Sleeve NOT included — order separately.
- Exterior Architectural Grille NOT included — order separately (SGK, AGK, or PGK grille families).
- Not a drop-in fit for non-standard, deep, or custom sleeve openings; those require Amana's extra-depth sleeve variants.

FAQ
Is the wall sleeve included with this unit?
No. The wall sleeve is sold separately. This chassis fits the industry-standard 42 in wide x 16-1/16 in high sleeve opening (e.g., WS900E, WS900QW, or the seacoast-rated WS900SC).
What breaker size and plug type does this unit require?
This 230/208V configuration with the 3.5/3.0 kW heater requires an MCA of 19.5A and a 20A maximum overcurrent protection (MOP). It ships with a factory-installed NEMA 6-20P power cord.
Can this be hardwired for 265V commercial applications?
No. This model is rated 230/208V only. A 265V installation requires the 265V commercial sibling chassis, DRY094J, along with an Amana sub-base (PTSB4**E series) or hard-wire kit PTPWHWK4 with disconnect switch PSHW04A. Do not attempt to wire this 230/208V unit to a 265V circuit.
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 source catalog data. Refer to the Product 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 fits 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-sized sleeve openings.
