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 15K BTU with heat pump. Model number 651816C851J0. The thermostat is the CCC II digital.
The fan and compressor start and run, both start and run capacitors for the compressor both test within spec. The sticker on the compressor reads, RLA cool 13.4 and RLA 12.2 heat.
The compressor pulls 10.5 amps per my clamp over meter on both cooling and heat pump after running 30 minutes on each. My supply voltage maintains 115 or more.
There are slight oil stains on some of the solder joints of the Freon tubing, but not much, (normal?)
Manufacturing stickers on the AC frame under the cover state the manufacture date is 2012. Also there are several stickers that say “Made in China” :(
Seems like a short service life as compared to the other American made AC units I have had.
From my research, it looks like I have lost the Freon charge? Is there anything else I should try before I replace the unit?
Thank you
