AC with heat pump problem????
I have a new 2017 RV with a Dometic 15,000 BTU air conditioner. The AC is equipped with a heat pump. The heat pump was working great. Now the heat pump trips the breaker after 3-4 hours of use....

Found this video on YouTube, what do you guys think?
Heat Pump Issue
To answer a few of your questions, temp range when problem occurs is about 37 to 40 degrees. Haven't checked any voltages because problem usually occurs late at night.
dougrainer, agree with your comment, very strange that same problem occurs on two new units ten years apart.
Haven't checked to see how clean the evaporator and condenser are. It's a new RV and really haven't used the AC or heat pump that much.
SaltiDawg, the AC works just fine, no tripping of the breaker. We were in some 90+ temps a few times this summer and the AC worked just fine.
So, if the heat pump ices up and can't deice while still trying to draw power, I suspect the wiring and breaker would heat up quite a bit and the breaker would pop?
What do you guys think?
Also, anyone else out there have the same problem?
