Roof A/C Issue
Class C with a 13.5 Dometic (Model Number: 520316.506E) year 2009
My rig is parked at the house in the hot Arizona sun. The A/C works fine for most of the day but when the ambient temp hits 104 or so the compressor shuts down and the fan blows hot air.
The A/C has had little use over the years. I cleaned both the evaporator and condenser coils although both were already very clean.
The unit is draining as it should and the interior filters are clean.
I did a voltage check over the day yesterday and have eliminated low voltage as the problem.
I have been advised on another forum that the issue could be the overload protector (thermal switch) which is designed to shut down the compressor when it's too hot. So I figured I would just replace it. Problem is that it looks to be internal to the compressor.
Any ideas? Thanks.
