Dometic 13.5k a/c Inop
Cooled perfectly yesterday. Turned it on today--no-go. Voltage in the TT is 120-122. 1500w microwave works fine with very little voltage drop, so I'm assuming incoming power is fine. For the h...

Agree with Capacitor First. If the Capacitor is bad, the Compressor will draw LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) like a stuck one.
Your brand MAY use a two-way capacitor. A Fan terminal, a Compressor terminal (likely marked HERM for Hermetically sealed system), and COM, Common, probably between the other two.
IF that's so, and FAN runs, you only need to buy a single capacitor with the higher of the two uF (maybe marked MFD) values, 35 in Fred's example. Just ask for a jumper to connect the COM of the two-way to one terminal of your new one and of course move HERM to the other terminal.
So you may find only one "can" in there. If you find a tall, round, plastic capacitor, a third one, let us know.
