Coleman A/C Issues

Hello,
New to forum, hopefully someone can help. I purchased a 04 Fleetwood Wilderness 28ft travel trailer few yrs ago. Last summer while camping, my A/C unit quit. I was running off of my generator and it ran low on fuel and began surging. The A/C worked fine up until this point and a friend filled the generator and tried starting it while I was away while thermostat was still set on a/c. The fan turns on when click to a/c and will run but the compressor doe snot seem to start. I've heard of capacitors going bad etc.. I was wondering if anyone could help or give some direction on trouble shooting. The A/c unit is a Coleman I believe. model number 8333B6664.
Thank you.
  • Thank you. I replaced both the run and fan capacitors in it last evening and still does not start. fan blows fine but does not seem condenser is running. fan and all turn easily.

  • You can buy a kit that includes the soft start capacitor and a small device that bypasses the capacitor once running. About $40 and easy to change out. Call Camping World with you unit info they will have the kit. I had a similar experience not long ago.

    good luck
