Abstract
A packaged terminal air conditioner unit (PTAC) and methods for operating the same are provided. The PTAC includes an auxiliary fan configured for urging a flow of make-up air from the outdoor portion into the indoor portion through a vent aperture defined by a bulkhead. A vent door is positioned proximate the vent aperture and is operatively coupled with a reed switch assembly. A controller is configured for stopping the operation of the auxiliary fan when the reed switch assembly detects that the vent door is in the closed position.
