Re: Dometic AC Motor Replacement
Thanks Chris. Sorry, the "in line" comment was misleading. You are correct they are not in line. I see what you are saying, it appears that the replacement kit now adds a specific "fan capacitor" instead of allowing the compressor run capacitor to do all the work (so to speak, hence the jump wire on the common only. Thanks again!183Views0likes0CommentsDometic AC Motor Replacement
I have an older 2000 Rockwood with a Dometic Roof top 57915.622 AC. The Run Capacitor was bad and the motor was going bad, so I got the replacement motor kit, plus a new Run Capacitor and Hard Start Capacitor. The kit includes an "extra' capacitor. I believe it's called the "fan capacitor" that is to be installed in line with the new "run capacitor". According to my research the new "fan cap" is connected to the "run cap" via a jump wire in place of the former motor common or (white) wire. The motor common (white) is also connected to the same terminal of the new "fan cap". The opposite side of the "fan cap" connects to the Brown wire to the motor. Does anyone know if this is on track? Getting a 17 year old motor out was hard enough, I certainly don't want to fry it all during installation!! Any advice, help, material or references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
