Re: New AC problem
Thanks for all the replies. It’s 30 amp. Only other thing possibly running would be water heater but doubt that’s always running same time as AC. Dealer/installer has been pretty good so far. I’ll give them a call again and go over your suggestions/advice. Today I had unit set to 78 while I was at work. Got home around 7:30 temp outside high 80’s. Temp in trailer was 72 and AC running. I had to raise thermostat to 80 before it would kick off. I left it at 80 for about 2hours then dropped it to 75 just before bed. Unit kicked in with high fan no compressor for about a minute. Shut off for about 45 seconds came back on Wirth high fan no compressor again for about a minute and shut off again. 3rd time came on with low fan then compressor kicked in and it’s behaving normally now. Cooled off trailer shut down. Was off about 15-20 minutes and just came back on. No cycling this time. Hopefully with y’all’s suggestions dealer may have a direction to go to resolve this once and for all. Thanks again

Re: New AC problem
Thanks for the feedback. New thermostat was installed with AC. Also installed new breaker as old one was heating up. Installer says that the constant repeated cycling is not an issue. That some units do that. Seems abnormal to me.

New AC problem
Hi all. Newbie here. Been living in my 31’ Classic last couple of years. Recently had to replace my 13,500 Duotherm Penguin with a new 15,000 Penguin AC. I think there is a problem with the unit and dealer is telling me it’s ok. Here’s the problems, hopefully someone can help. Unit cycles repeatedly. Come on for a minute or so shuts off comes back on and this repeats several times before it stays on. Seems like compressor isn’t kicking in on the recycling until at some point it does and then the unit stays on and cools. Sometimes the off cycle is just a few seconds and other times it 30 seconds or more. Also have had it continue to cool trailer down to 69-70 degrees when thermostat is set to 78. Unit just seems to want to run and not shut off. This is driving me crazy so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance. Keith
