replacing a/c heatpump
Hi,
I've been on the group before about our Duo Therm a/c heat pump.
The heat pump was tripping the 20a breaker. Now that it is warm, see that the A/C seems to work ok.
Coach-Net located a service company to check it out. Turns out it was a residential/commercial outfit. The tech was very nice but hadn't worked on a RV before.
We ran the heat pump (it's warmer outside now)and it ran without tripping the breaker. He noted that started out with a normal current but as time went on it slowly increased to 17+amps.
His opinion was he didn't see any way to repair the unit and recommended that I have it replaced. He compared it to a housed window unit.
I've called around to try to determine exactly what unit I may need. The current unit is a DuoTherm 59136.531 E1.
Number one - are these units not repairable? He did say it was not the capacitor.
Number two - does anyone know the part number of a replacement a/c heat pump......... I've been waiting quite awhile to hear back from Camping world.
We are on theroad and It's awkward because I'm not convinced it needs to be replaced.
