Need help diagnosing roof A/C
On Edit: Problem successfully diagnosed, last post here. My roof air Conditioner / Heat Pump does not cool or heat. It is a three year old TT with a Dometic low profile Penguin II High Output 15...

The output temp of the air is within one degree of ambient on both cool and heat.
BUT, This time I did all the testing over again using shore power, last time I used my generator just to exercise it.
On shore power the compressor only had a draw of 7.2 on cool and heat! After check and re-check I went back to generator power and got the original readings of 10.5 :@
I also used two different meters just to be sure. My volts on shore power held 115 and the ambient temp was 60 degrees, amp draw only 7.2, should have been almost 10.
My guess is that testing on the generator was not the best idea due to variances in voltage. And that the shore power reading is the correct one. So is 7.2 amp compressor draw low enough to indicate a Freon leak?
Thank you
I have NEVER seen a variance due to Gen versus shore Power. Yes, 7.2 would indicate NO coolant. No offense, but you really do not know what you are doing. You have just enough knowledge to get almost the complete picture. But, you got there. You have a BAD leaking unit. Replace it. Doug
