Good day to all on RV.NET. I recently had a new A/C unit installed on our 5th wheel. We only used it 2-3 times. A couple of weeks ago we tried to use it however it would come on and blowing cold air for @ minutes to 5 minutes; problem is it would stop blowing air completely but the power would stay on.I rechecked the connections. I would turn off the unit at the termostat and wait a few minutes before trying to turn it on. You could hear it click inside the unit and wont turn on and you have to wait awhile longer before turning back on, but then same thing happen's. I called the shop that installed it and they said it could be one of two things that is wrong with it, !. I was told that it could be the Control Box (circuit) box in the AC unit or 2. It could be the thermostat... I asked doesnt the new AC unit come with a control box installed in it? They said no that they took the old one out of the old AC unit and installed it in the new unit... and that it is a seperate part... can some one enlightem me on this? thank you all in advance for the response/help.

I have a new Dometic A/C and the box in the A/C overhead area clicks like... A LOT! I have a feeling we have similar issues. I took mine all apart hoping to see a lousy ground but all I got was a really weird plastic 120vac connector vs wire nuts. I have no real info to add, but I would say your probably not alone. Sometimes my fan stops and the condenser pump is still running....the fan sometimes stops for 2-5 seconds when seconds later (while the compressor is still running) the fan will turn back on! Really odd.
