Here is a copy of the quote that the repairman gave me to fix the A/C unit...
So how to I know if it's a starter capacitor problem. Also is this a unit specific part or are they a universal part. Reason I ask is I am 500 miles away from my motorhome but by a Camping World where I could go check for a part but don't have any idea what Dometic unit I have other than it's a 13500BTU unit.
Also how do you know if this is the problem. Like I stated early the repairman said the unit when I would switch to Fan on and AC on would blow air for about 20-30 seconds then shut off. He said that the AMPS were around 7-8 and should be less than 2.5. Does this sound like a start capacitor problem? Or a blown Motor. I thought all along that it was the fan motor that was bad but when talking to the repairman after getting the quotes he said its the condenser motor that is bad.
Guess at that price I might as well replace the entire unit. Should I stay with Dometic so I don't have to switch out the thermostat inside the coach or go for a Coleman? 15000 or 13500 BTU Unit?
