Ac/heat pumps
A few days ago I responded to someone that our ACs were 13 years old and no problems.
Actually they are 115 years old.
Th last few days our rear air was making noises. Last night it seized up. Te capacitor tried to start it but couldn't.
I was making plans for about 1800.00 to replace it.
Colman, today puled it apart. The fan had slid down the shaft and bound it up.
They replaced the fan and put an extra screw in the shaft. I won't slide down again.
Now or the other half.
Didn't think enough air was coming through the registers and not cold enough.
Pulled the filter housing and the metal plate and a blast of very cold air hit me.
They showed me that no gasket was installed, between the unit up top and the discharge,just some pieces of ill fitting fiber glass board.
Some of the air was just going back through the cooling circuit and some elsewhere.
The used metal tape to seal up both ACs or heat pumps.
Put the filters back up and we have cold air not seen n this coach from the time it was built.
So when you think yours has seized up, just check on the fan first.
and check your hear pump/ac seal to the register duct.
When we get home I'm going to check the registers,where the air comes out, for seal.
They are only supposed to check the ac units but there are many here at the Rally experiencing similar problems and on Coleman's list.
I had read of the problem of unsealed duct work before, here on the forums, but had been assured by someone mine were fine.
It is right at 92 outside and I'm cold. So I'm getting up frm the table to adjust the thermostat.
