I have a few spare parts for a Carrier Air-V, none that I think can help you.
If you have lost ALL our coolant the unit will false out with an "AC PROBLEM" code (five flashes of the Green LED)... One problem on the Air V
Just off the compressor two lines drop down like a plumbing "P" or J trap (This is a vibration trap near as I can tell, actually a good idea)
The problem comes when the two lines actually TOUCH, as they "Trap" the vibrations of teh compressor they rub together and after long enough they get religion (Become holey) and woosh goes all your coolant.. IF this is the problem repalcement may be in order.
Carrier no longer makes 'em.
Advent Air makes both a 13.5KBTU and a 15KBTU (K means 1000) that fit the carrier base and rooftop. use carrier controls and actually work well.
And there is at least one other that fits as well.. Name begains with C,(IF I'm not mistaken) big name in RV A/C and dang if I can recall it just now.
Also, my new ADVENT AIR 15,000 BTU draws the same 13.5 Amps that my old Carrier 13,500 BTU unit drew.
Other possible issues: .... .When was the last time you cleaned the condenser coils up on the roof (you need to remove the outer shroude and a metal cover near the rear of the AC to do this)
If it's plugged up and they do plug up, no cooling will happen.
NOTE: this is the first thing to check cause the cost of repair is $0.00 if you fix it yourself, no parts needed.
