Roof air questions--now need motor info 5/6/14

Dometic 13,500. When I turn the AC on or only the fan on the coach, the breaker for the AC trips. Changed the breaker (20amp) and still the same. Cannot find anything wrong with any wiring. Fan is turning easy. Pulled the capacitors and did a check (test) I found online. They didn't check right--not sure if it's me checking or actually the capacitor.

Will a bad capacitor trip a breaker? If not, where else should I check?

Thanks
DICK

    600 model is a lo profile Penguin. Brisk Air is a standard profile and NO, the motors are not interchangeable. The replacement kit is 3108706.924 and has new capacitor. It takes about 3 hours to replace this motor due to the metal shroud over the condenser impellor. Doug

    AO Smith is still making motors, Most electrical motor houses including Grainger should be able ot replace it.. If you are near Port Huron, MI, try Easton.

    Folks, If your A/C is a Carrier Air V.. I have a few spare parts.. Else, I don't.
