AC Compressor runs long (after an shutoff).
New (to me) RV and I'm definitely a newbie, so please bear with me.
When I turn on the breaker to my front AC unit, immediately (even with the thermostat turned off) I can hear a humming from the unit (which I'm assuming is the compressor). It will stay on for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, regardless of the settings on the thermostat.
If I turn on the thermostat, the AC comes on and is cooling just fine. When it completes the cycle, the fan shuts off but the humming continues, again for roughly 5 minutes.
This process cycles around and around - AC is cooling great, but I think the compressor is having issues.
I don't know the specific Dometic model of the unit, but it has the 3107541.009 control board/unit installed.
Both AC units are the same and the rear one is functioning normally.
Should I swap the control boards between units to see if that narrows things down?
Just looking for some general guidance here - thanks in advance!
