Dometic A/C Problem
Took the new Vengeance to Ocean Lakes this weekend to test everything. Had a great time and 99% of everything worked perfectly.
The bedroom AC unit is a 13.5K unit that just blows straight out of the unit with no duct work to push air through. It has adjustable vents on all four sides but that's it. Pretty simple.
It was warm this weekend so I turned it on Saturday to cool the bedroom down. It came on and started normally. Then after about a minute or so, I guess the compressor turned off. It ran much quieter as if a load was taken off. Then after a minute or so of that, the compressor kicked on again. I say "the compressor" because it sounded just like it does when the unit is on constant fan and then the room gets warm enough to make the AC turn on if its controlled by a thermostat.
It did this a few times and the air was only cool. It never got really cold. I then turned it off.
My totally novice guess is the unit has a refrigerant leak and is too low too keep the compressor running. But I really have no clue. Our Work & Play AC had a leak but it made the unit freeze up inside.
Any ideas here before I take it in? Is there anything possible I could be doing wrong?
