A/C no A/C no more
Folks,
Getting ready to head out in a few days. Just finished rewiring the rear brow marker lights and backup camera (again) where rodents had decided to nest and chew. Need a new solution. Install a cat!?
Well, we planned on getting the interior ready today. It’s hot and humid. Go figure. So, I turned on the roof A/C unit. It’s a 4900 series Airxcel (Coleman Mach). Well, the fan came on, then after a second or two the compressor engaged and it started blowing cold air. But, after about 20 seconds the compressor shut down. And, about 10 seconds later the fan quit.
I pulled the filter, but it looked fine. Tried to run the unit without the filter. Same success. Removed the ceiling fixture. Examined wiring, etc. Nothing looked amiss. Tried it again. Nope.
Went on the roof. Took off the cover. Looked for any restrictions to air flow. Nothing.
So, my question is this. Am I looking at a capacitor failure? I don’t smell anything. No leakage. But, from what I read, the symptoms sound like it might be a possibility?
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
Best,
Jack
