AC Problem

[bigt1739]

During my last trip of the season last year I noticed the AC compressor on the roof was running without the fan blowing inside...(dometic? 13kbtu unit I think?) the thermostat was switched to off and the fan switch was in auto. At the time I switch the breaker off because I had no need for AC on that trip....is this a control problem in the unit? Like a stuck relay or bad control or something? Should I just take the time and money involved in troubleshooting and fixing this and put it towards a new AC/heat pump unit...

Electronic thermostat?
Ours did that. It goes into some sort of self destruct fault mode. I had ran it on low fan speed until the unit froze up then i let it thaw and put it on auto and it would simply run the compressor with no fan. I checked the blades and they were free. Got the owners manual and figured a system initialization might help. It did. Now that we are in another new trailer I'll not try manual fan control. Keep it on the automatic. I did do the system initialization on this one too figuring it probably was not done at install per the instructions. Below is the reset and link to the manual.
