AC Clicks - nothing else
Went out to the coach today and the front AC was not working. Changed it to fan only and it clicked, nothing else. Changed it to cool - same thing. Ideas? I know I have had this happen before, but...

On mine when the breakers start tripping the problem is USUALLY indicative of a need for cleaning.
ON Coleman you go up , Pull 4 Bolts off the top, lift the lid, and clean the condenser (outside)
On most other makes you remove a whole bunch of screws, lift the lid, then you have to open the condenser fan compartment and then you can see how clogged the condenser is. You may or may not need to remove the fan to clean.
(On my Advent Air. when the fan blew up we put a Coleman fan on so other than 10 screws v/s 4 bolts it cleans like a Colemanm, no need to open the inner cover)
Why does this happen?
Well with the condenser clogged system tempertures rise, and rise, and as they rise the head pressure on the compressor also rises, and eventually it gets so high the comnpressor is pulling too many amnps and CLICK goes the breaker.
I just cleaned both my A/C's.
Excellent explanation I might need sometime in the future. Thanks for that!
