Coleman Mach 15 problems......need some help troubleshooting
Hello all to all.
Hope someone kneadable with these coleman mach or just basic mobile AC units can point me in the right direction.
2017 Heartland Trail runner camper trailer model 27fqbs owned for about 1 year, the AC stopped working on a hot day during camping trip.
The day prior made a barely noticeable whine noise when the ac would kick one.
When it did go out, fan would be on, but would not turn on during the AC selection.
After coming home from trip, I began trouble shooting. Checked the breaker, removed and checked the fuse all good.
Played around with thermostat, opened the top mounted units covers everything looked in working order.
So my thinking lead me to believe the capacitors might have gone bad, after all they are inexpensive to replace to see if that would fix the problem. Located them, inspected them no visual damage/burn marks/foul smells – nothing. Did some research. Inter-webbed and theytubed a bit. AHA! It could be the capacitors, but ofcourse!
Logged on to Gerber, picked up a pair with the same spec for $25, installed them in the same order with the same wire positions.
After turning on the ac function, I hear the ac unit turning on it’s blowing the house 110v breaker.
Great….. So what now?
I doubt it’s the thermostat. Possibly the compressor going bad and tripping breaker?
Is there another electrical junction that I’ve missed?
I wonder if it’s the main circuit board having a short.
Do the symptoms I’ve explained above like something you have experienced?
Please spare comments like: You should take it in to a dealer/professional ac service center. Thank you
