Coleman Mach 8232 series to Atwood
I have two ancient (2003) Coleman A/C units which are ready for replacement. The system is run by the Intellitec 00-00591-200 controller and a no-longer-available Climate Controller also by Intellitec...

I have also tested the A/C that is broken and found that it is drawing too much current so that the Intellitec shuts it down. The windings read 5 ohms and infinity to the case. The cutoff is showing continuity, I replaced the start and the run capacitors. I disconnected the black wire from common and jumped the unit with an extension cord connecting from the white to the black and blew the 15 A circuit breaker, well, I mean it opened as it should.
Of course this is with a 40 foot extension cord, so the voltage probably was not good enough to kick it over - I might try using it on the 20 A cb and see if that makes a difference.
I am fairly certain that the compressor is stuck which means replacement.
The single A/C would run the coach in Oct, but the bedroom is what we want cooled and both sets of fans running don't cool the bedroom sufficiently.
I could just move the working unit to the rear and replace the front with one of the new ones so that if I can't get the repair done in time we will have air to the bedroom.
